I had been wanting the Mac Pro (and was actually hoping to use a friend's Apple employee discount, but it's not in their EPP store yet) but my video work necessitated purchasing one as soon as possible. I was dreading the 3-5 week wait.
On a whim, I went to B&H and typed "Mac Pro". I saw that they have listings for all the different configurations, but many of them are out-of-stock (ship in 4-6 weeks). Lo and behold, when I found the listing for the configuration I actually planned on buying (8-core, 1TB SSD, 32GB RAM, D700s) and I saw those two glorious words... "In Stock."
I ordered immediately. Shipped out yesterday and will be at my door by Tuesday. Less than a week!
So if you're impatient like me, be sure to check out the stock of some of these other places.
