    If you are a student though, you can register for $100.
    Then you can get all the cool discounts, which compared to the regular student discount is more savings then the cost of the membership.
    Also you get all the other cool stuff.

    Here is a link.

    ACD Hardware Purchase Program

    Click on ACD purchase program to get into the store.
    You might have to have a login password for it work though, which you can get for free (after registration).

    Biggest draw back that I have seen is that the student developer can only do this once in a lifetime, but the full developer can do this once a year. Furthermore, the regular student can only buy once a year at the reduced rate.

    Here are some developer prices if you can't get to these pages:
    12.1 PowerBook - $1439 (or $1699 student, or $1799 everyone)
    Dual 1.42 - $2159 (or $2459 student, or $2699 everyone)
