Thanks a lot for the suggestions guys, I really appreciate it. Actually I started to look at HP after I made my first post and I custom made a really nice one, what do you guys think about this?

XP Professional
T2500 (2ghz) Intel Core Duo
17" WXGA Ultra Bright View
256mb Nvidia GeForce Go 7600
1GB DDR2 SDRAM
100Gb 5400 rpm hd
Lightscribe 8X dvd burner
Intel Pro wireless 3954ABG w/ Bluetooth
Included features
• HP PhotoSmart Premier
• HP QuickPlay
• 1 Expansion Port 2 connector
• 1 ExpressCard/54 Slot (also supports ExpressCard/34)
• 4 USB 2.0 ports
• IEEE 1394
• 1 Consumer IR (Remote Receiver)
• S-video TV-out port
• Built in 6-in-1 Digital Media Reader
• Built-in Altec Lansing stereo speakers
• Touch Pad with dedicated vertical and horizontal Scroll Up/Down pad
• 101 key compatible

All for 1487.99, I'm pretty sure this is what I am going to get. It's really nice customizing them online because XP Professional is only 58.00 more bucks, compared to me having to pay 300.00 for it in a store.
