In the future, I may opt to get an 800 dollar laptop, and a 1200 dollar desktop, and still game and be portable. For now, this will do just fine.
Yeah, I'm going back to desktops when I get my own place. My plan is also to get a nice widescreen LCD, one that can double for both HDTV and my desktop. Perhaps I'll need a seperate CRT to use when I need to use the computer when watching TV, but you can get used 21" CRTs nowadays for $30.

Hmmm... the more I think about it, the more I think I will have to take some time and plan this out. I have this vision of just having one really nice computer that can be used to control all the media in the house.
