I ordered myself a quad-core Mac Pro yesterday. Order status currently has it scheduled to ship on March 30th, but who knows if that’s accurate? I didn’t bother to pay for rush delivery. It’ll get here when it gets here, even if I do want it yesterday.

My custom ordered system specs:

  • 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon “Nehalem” processor with 8MB of L3 cache;
  • 8GB (4×2GB) of 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC SDRAM memory;
  • ATI Radeon HD 4870 with 512MB of GDDR5 memory;
  • 1TB Serial ATA 3Gb/s 7200 rpm hard drive;
  • 18x SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW);
  • 4 PCI Express 2.0 slots;
  • AirPort Extreme Wi-Fi Card with 802.11n;
  • Bluetooth 2.1+EDR;
  • 2 FireWire 800 ports, 2 USB 2.0 ports and a headphone mini-jack up front;
  • 2 FireWire 800 ports, 3 USB 2.0 ports , optical/analog in and out and dual Gbit Ethernet ports in the back;
  • Apple Keyboard with numerical keypad and Mighty Mouse.

Can. Not. Wait.

If only I had the cash to upgrade from my Mitsubishi DiamondPlus 74SB 17″ CRT. It’s a great monitor, but it’s time to move up to a 24″ 1920×1200 LCD. Though, I will not be purchasing the Apple 24″ model at $800 and I don’t know which brand/model I will get when I can afford to buy one.
