I am definately going to get it I haven't preordered it yet though. TF2 looks very fun

Yup... like those electrical cars that you plugged into an outlet to recharge them... they mysteriously all disappeared after a few months... What really happened with those is that the makers of the car told the people that there was a defect in the car and that it had to be brought in. Then they were all shipped off to a junkyard and destroyed... We already have good alternatives, and we need to start gradually implementing them, to ease the economy off of oil.

Aaah! THe robots are going to be smarter than us! "Coming to Grips With Intelligent Machines CNet (09/07/07) Olsen, Stefanie The Singularity Summit taking place this weekend in San Francisco will bring together accomplished technologists and investors to discuss the benefits and risks involved with advancing artificial intelligence, technical issues involved in accelerating technology in a variety of fields, and what to do if machine intelligence ever surpasses human intelligence. Foresight Nanotech Institute vice president Christine Peterson says singularity refers to "a period of accelerating technology change that our species has never faced before. So the question is how do we address the issue of change so rapid that it becomes difficult to project how it will affect us?" Futurists, scientists, and science fiction writers continue to predict futures where humans and robots become more similar thanks to bioengineering and brain-computer interfaces. "The summit is about how we may be developing technology that could expand beyond intelligence as we know it," says Tyler Emerson, executive director of the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence and summit chair. "And that could be shaped in either a favorable way or it could swing the other way. It will depend on the choices we make." Other speakers at the conference include Stanford University's Paul Saffo, Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Rodney Brooks, and Yale University's Wendell Wallach. Singularity Institute director Ray Kurzweil will provide a 30-minute talk via videoconference." full article is here: http://news.com.com/Coming+to+grips+with+intelligent+machines/2100-11394_3-6206637.html

I just want to throw a wrench in things here... the high school that you go to doesn't really matter all that much (unless of course you go to one of the top ranked high schools.) I went to a private school with a graduating class of 43 people in Alabama, and I am doing fine now. Just get some good extracurricular activities and do well on the standardized tests (ACT and/or SAT) and colleges will look at you. I know that doesn't really help you with your search, but I just wanted to throw that out there.

Yeah I agree with Joe, but I figured that you (or your wife) were set on getting a Dell

Oh... I thought that it was a PC game in the first place. Woops.

yeah a 256 would be much better than that 128 card. I think that that system could handle BF2142 just fine with the 128, but you would have to cut the settings low on upcoming games (and where is the fun in building a computer if you can't jack up the settings :thumbsup: )
