I pre-ordered a dual 2.0 ghz Powermac G5 just moments after it was announced at the WWDC confrence on June 23rd, 2003. It finally arrived on September 17th. The following are pictures of the system being delivered and unpacked. I had not yet seen anyone post pictures of a system being unpacked and setup, so I thought I would post mine for all those who are awaiting the arrival of their G5's. Please allow time for the large images to load. I apologize for a few of the blurry pictures, but as you can imagine, I was shaking from excitement :-)
