Haha, nope. You should hang out in the FlashForge forum though. Last I checked my Microcenter just had the Powerspec Pro for 799. Do they have a cheaper X model?

Yes these are "mac" compatible but you will probably never need to connect directly to the machine, at least at the start. There is an SD card slot that you can transfer the .x3g files from Makerware to the machine.
