Anyone ordered the new iMac G5 from apple.com ?
What your Est. Shipping Date ?

Mine is sept. 30th, which is now pretty close, considering I placed my order on august 31st!
Just one more week and it should be near me!

/me is excited.

I already started looking for a new desk too. I can't put that thing on an old ugly desk!

Anybody else picked one up at a local Apple store ?
The ones nearby don't have any yet...
One would have expected shots & benchmarks on Neowin by now.

Almost 10 days after they started shipping...

If you can't stand Macs then why are you posting on the Mac section of Neowin

go troll someplace else please.

Mouton congratulations on the iMac

i love it how they call the delay "unexpected". they clearly expect the delays, because it happens with every mac product that ever comes out (bar the cube and newton

)

It doesn't matter what OS is on the computer, it will always be a Macintosh

Man...went into compusa today. Saw the new lcd screens (sweet mother those things rock)...saw the new imacs...17" to be exact, they are even uglier in person than they are in pics. IMHO

I guess it's a question of personnal preferences...
Most people think it's good looking.

Anyone saw numbers on iMac G4 vs iMac G5 sales ?
Do they sell better / as much / less ..?

Hey, I like the look of that... mat (?) on your desk. Seems a great idea, is it actually designed for computer use? And how is it fixed in place?
