Im a little conflicted here. On one hand I think its great that it's looking to be just around the corner now, but damn,... that price is even significantly more than initially touted. Also, why only 1 gig ram? 4 gig ddr2 is worth about $30 retail these days, surely buying in bulk (granted modest numbers for "bulk") is a little cheaper again. For something that starts at about $2700 surely adding a few gig (ie. an extra $15 or so) is reasonable.
Given the price of a case, gfx card, ram, harddrive, etc. that's sure one monster of a pricetag for a mobo+cpu (at least $2500,... all other stuff is worth next to nothing).
While Im happy for those that are interested it's obviously a very niche (as in double figures, low triple if lucky) item. The days of $3000 computers are loooong gone.
