Well you already know about the 37" 1080p LCD thats going to cost me $1,499 + $189 for a 3 year service plan.
Since I'll be getting a laptop (which is more the point of this thread then anything) I want a wireless router and a decent one but nothing crazy.
I was thinking a D-Link DI-634M 108G MIMO for around 70$
The router is nice because not only would the laptop have wireless, but I wont have to run a cable for the PS3 either.
The PS3 weighs in at around $635 after tax and Ill spend probably 150$ on two games.
I wanted a Sony stereo system, more specifically a Sony HT-DDW900 but that will have to wait until next january or feburary.
So far that puts the bill at about $2,550 which is okay. Ill have about $5500 the end of November and when its all said and done Ill have about 3K left. Ill still be working so Ill have another 3K or so made before I go to college so I'll be able to get a laptop no problem.
The thing is what kind of laptop should I get? Im not looking to spend any more then $1000 on it, becuase it will be outdated long before I get out of college no matter what. My mom has this thing too where through her work (H&R block) she can get me 10 or 15% off of an HP laptop so thats something to consider.
The main brands im considering are Sony, Dell and HP. Its atleast 6 months off before I buy this thing, but I like to see where things are at now and then compare as time goes by.
Looking at a laptop?

lol unless media center is the cheaper option, i mean you can completely ignore its existance if you want 
bah, lol so many options, im guess you want.. a widescreen laptop with a core duo (or maybe core 2 duo), 1GB RAM, and integrated intel graphics... but there are so many of those >.>

For computers, buying cheaply and often will only leave you constantly in a world of shit.
what college u goin to? r u livin in a dorm/apt and if so whats the size of the room and desk cuz i can tell u this having gone to college for 2 years, most pple dont actually take their laptops to class or go out to the grassy areas and actually do PORTABLE stuff with a laptop, there is the occasional take it to a study group or the library but even then u can take books/print outs and paper to write... if u think u wont be taking advantage of the portability, then a desktop is better, u kno that
and also, hp dell and all those places have unadvertised student discounts, theyll ask u for ur student id number and ur campus and u can get a nice discount, of course u already have to have been issued an id # (n i dunno if it will work with ur moms thing or if its better or whatev)

technically with a 17 or 19(GASP) incher, theres room for an even larger battery.. but im sure theres a point where the 'balance' gets fucked
i say 15.4 is good i saw those 17 inch laptops and its like "HOLY SHIT LOL IT HAS ROOM FOR A NUMBER PAD."
