I noticed on Amazon.com that they are selling the base model 2.5GHz 17" MacBook Pro for $2,644 - after a $150 rebate. It's available for pre-order, so that means Amazon doesn't have it in stock yet (I wonder if they would have the high resolution version on there at some point?)
Depending on where you live, the $2,644 price is cheaper than education discount from Apple + sales tax. I live in Mass and for me that would be a savings of $129.95. Just a thought.....you could put the $129.95 towards a 4GB RAM kit from OWC...I think the memory is more important than the hard drive speed. My 2ยข.
