Just a couple of thoughts (background... I shoot a 5DII, have 750GB of images, and have a MacPro with 6.5TB of internal storage + external no-caddy drive bays for backups).
Don't buy 350/500GB drives. They're older technology, and they're no longer the most cost effective in terms of GB/$.
The sweet spot for GB/$ is in the larger disks - 1TB to 2TB - and these disks will also be faster, as the data is packed tighter on the disk surface. You'll read more bits off the platter for every disk revolution.
Make sure you have a good backup strategy in place - and design that from the very beginning. Back up to external drives and try and keep a copy offsite. I also use an internal partition as a TimeMachine disk - just for my boot drive.
Edit. Oh yes... one more thing. RAID IS NOT A BACKUP... and don't trust anyone who tells you it is. RAID will ONLY protect you against disk crashes, NOT against accidental deletion, theft, water damage, electrical glitches, virus action, fire, accidental damage which together are more likely than a disk crash. To be safe, you need three copies of data, one of which should be in a separate location.
Another HDD space junkie! :D I will buy 1 or 2 TB drives for the Mac Pro. However, what if I buy 1 TB drives and they puke before I fill them up? I am not being a smart @@S, just asking a legitimate question, as that scenario is my only concern. Also, thanks for clarifying that RAID is not for backup. my good friend uses RAID to backup, but he never writes to his drives, only reads. They are for storing tons of movies and games. Off-site storage is a big deal with photographers and I understand the benefits, but I never would have added 1+1. LOL
I am still thinking about my backup plan, but I have plenty of options thanks to the photographer community! As I stated in my last reply, I will clear my mind this weekend and in all likelihood, order a new Mac Pro 8 core soon.

It seems like the kind of situation they should be monitoring before it gets to be a problem. Or maybe they did, and that's why they were fixing it on the weekend. All in all, two hours was a small sacrifice. And now we have proof that MacRumors is one of the hottest sites on the Internet!

Ok. Ok. The damn thing is a fake. How do I know, because an apple rep from the apple store came in the night of the Jaguar release and informed me that four former apple designers came up with the hoax. They built a plastic rendition using a computer and a laser cutter. They then superimposed the newton OS onto the face of the device. The person writing was writing on a the screen, but it was the newton doing all the work. The reason why it looks a little different is they just adjusted the colors and some of the icons to meet a more "OSX" look. Man..that sucks. I know... I know...I should have known, but damn.:mad:
Peace.

That's so true! I really wanted to go ultimate this time and that's what i did :cool:
But i have to admit the cheapest iMacs are the best deals this time
*Edit*
One thing i'de like to add. If video editing for you means doing some cuts, arranging your material and maybe doing a quick colour correction you don't need a powerfull machine. Actually i'm doing this with 1080p DSLR and Sony EX Cam footage on my two year old mac mini without problems.
The reason i'm ordering a new iMac is that i hit my computers limits when doing extensive compositing in After Effects.
Hope that helps

The whole resolution independance thing terrifies me. I just know we'll see some vendor or Apple have these annoying huge UI's that we can't shrink back down to their proper size. I mean the reason we buy this huge monitors is to shrink the UI and maximize free space right???

I just logged in to try to get some account info for the switch to Verizon tonight, and look what I got.
Edit: I just called up and was able to get my account info, no questions asked. I guess this is just a random coincidence that their online account service happens to be down right before the iPhone 4 launch on Verizon.

Yeah I called right before they closed also. The guy didn't have any solid knowledge of a shipment, but confirmed the 9am early open if they have ipad inventory.
I'll probably head over around 7:30... is that early enough?
It better not be raining!!!
I hope it is raining, it just means less people will show up probably. Snow would be great.

What time do you plan getting there?
I don't know, I was thinking 4am would guarantee a first spot. I don't know what the previous launches looked like.
I do know that 2 weeks after the 3G came out I was waiting in line at 6am on Saturday morning.
The mall opens its doors at 7am and they said the food court doors are opened first.

Does anyone know how high the turnout has been at Thurrock for other Apple launches? Thinking of heading that way as I'm in central London and may fancy better odds (at picking one up on spec) further out...

OMG! That would be awesome - a phone that's a GPS Navigation that you could load where you're going in the phone with relevant picture pointers 'you are now passing MacDonalds on your right handside' and picture flashes up on your phone of the location taken by another user of Googlemaps... while you're driving in the car...
That's way more than I thought the iPhone would be... if it is the iPhone.
If it is then Apple will have pulled another 'miracle of modern technologies' off!
I think this is good thing!

i have ipad2 with 4.3 after i saved the shsh using tinyumbrella it shows 4.3.1 in the list of saved shsh, but it does show 4.3 in the installed fw. is that normal?
Yes, perfectly normal. It saves SHSH for the most recent firmware, regardless of which firmware is installed on your device.

So the Verizon deal really didn't help them with the iPhone and Apple lost again more marketshare in the smartphone market. Not good especially as Google now ships almost 40 million Android phones per quarter. Maybe a cheap iPhone nano might help Apple to get back into a competing position.

I just got my BSE order today (bought it when they did 10% discount + free shipping). I got a open envelope and packing slip, no screen protectors. It appears they didn't seal the envelope when sending, because the adhesive to seal the envelope is unused.
Do you think BSE forgot to put them in there, or someone from the post office jacked em?
Has anyone else received an order like this?

Are your discs scratched? Also did you try going into Disk Utility and formating your hard drive...maybe writing all zeros? I can't think of anything else :-/ :confused:
