Apple offers 0% financing on 'the Mac of your dreams'
If you've been waiting to order 'the Mac of your dreams,' perhaps a new 0% financing offer from Apple will be just what you need. Through June 30th, Apple Store customers who qualify for financing can purchase a Mac interest-free for 24 months. Oh, and Adobe Creative Suite 3 apparently goes well with Macs, so Apple's even allowing customers to lump a CS3 purchase (in addition to a Mac to begin with) into the no-interest financing deal.
[Update: Woops, sorry guys. Turns out this is an offer targeted at business customers. This link should take you to more information at Apple's site, but commenters are right: there's a slight detail that Apple left out of the email to the tune of a minimum purchase amount of $5,000. I honestly don't know why I'm receiving emails from Apple that are aimed at business customers, but look on the bright side: most people's dream Mac probably costs nearly $5,000 anyway, right? Toss on Creative Suite 3 and you're basically there.
But seriously: sorry about the mixup everyone.]

I got the same email and thought about taking advantage of it, but the minimum order is $5,000.

Well, given that my Dream Mac Purchase is $14,400 (after education discount, of course :P ), this could well come in handy in my idle daydreaming.

Hold the phone. This is for a LEASE. Big diff here. And it is for biz folks only. The lease is a big deal -- you take the value of the system, say $12K for round numbers, divide by the number of months, 24 and you get payments of $500/month. Seems great, no? Problem is any hardware you purchased you have to return at end of the lease period. Or, and this is the big catch: you have to purchase it for fair market value. That $12K system you buy now, might only be worth $6K in two years -- but if you choose to buy it, you've paid $18K for a $12K system when, we all know, that Macs of 2009 will kick the 07's ports.

5k is easy to do on a Mac for work. My current system was over 6k without CS3 - and without CS3, it is worthless!

Theoretically, could you lease for twe years, and then when you have to return it, just lease a newer Mac? That'd solve your problem with the outdated '07 ports, but they probably won't have that 0% interest deal then.
So is it only for businesses? Because I thought this sort of leasing was, but the email I was sent and the page it linked to didn't seem to mention it.
