Below are the specs copied from dell. I play games like team fortress 2, warcraft and am looking forward to playing Starcraft 2. I'm technically buying it for my wife. I have the dell studio laptop (which i love). We want another computer because school requires me to bring my laptop, leaving my wife with nothing to use.

Why does my dad act so hostile towards me
WARNING: THIS IS VERY LONG
It seems like every day he's trying to start fights with me, and many of them are over me staying up late or using the computer too much (in his opinion) or both. I'm 17, and I've been living with my dad ever since he sued my mom for custody for me and my brother when I was 9. I think my dad treats me unfairly, based on how he treated my brother when he was a similar age.
My older brother moved out for college about a year ago, but for the last couple of years he lived with us, he was always storing alcohol, marijuana, and other similar drugs in his room, and would use them regularly (and invite friends over at night to use them with him). I didn't really care about him doing that as long as he didn't try to get me involved, but my dad just acted like none of that was happening, when he knew it was going on. I find it unfair that my dad would ignore my brother doing all sorts of illegal things in his room every day when he was 16-18 years old, and yet he gives me a bunch of crap every day just for staying up late during summer break, or using the computer for a few hours a day when I'm 17.
Since this summer break started for me about 3 weeks ago, I've been trying to be somewhat productive. I'm learning to drive... which I put off, but I should get my license next month. I've been devoting at least 2 hours a day to practicing playing my tuba (don't laugh...) on days that I'm at my dad's house. I've been taking online classes to boost my GPA, and I've been spending free time listening to music and doing research on my favorite composers.
As I said earlier, my dad's main concerns with me involve bed times and computer usage. Since summer started, I've gotten into a schedule of waking up at about noon, and going to bed early morning. I'm expected to wake up in the morning, and go to bed at night, like I would in the school year. However, since I don't have any responsibilities (at my dad's) that require me to make up early, I don't see what the big deal is, but my dad is acting like it's a big deal, and arguing with me about it every day.
An example of what happens between him and me:
Last night I was practicing the tuba for a few hours. Before I went to bed, I put some new CD's I got on my mp3 player, and watched part of a movie. My granddad happened to get up during that time, and told my dad the next morning that I had been up all night using the computer (which isn't true). Then before he went to work, he banged on my door and yelled at me to get up and talk to him right then. When I opened the door he started yelling at me about being obsessed with the computer (???) and how I can't stay up past 10 pm anymore... which is just ridiculous for a 17 year old during summer break.
I rarely watch tv, but my dad spends about as much time watch tv every day as I do using the computer, but he acts like I have a computer addiction. If I watch a movie on tv he doesn't care, but if I watch one on the computer, he completely freaks out. If I listen to music while browsing through various articles on the computer, he makes a big deal about it, but if I listen to my radio while reading a magazine, he doesn't care. If I play video games on my old gameboy/DS, or my old ps2, he doesn't care, but if I play video games on the computer, he calls my mom about how I'm addicted to online gaming.
And to give you an idea of what I meant by "hostile", he gets into arguments with me every day, and is always losing his temper, and constantly provokes me. I've never had any of these types of problems with my mom. For years I've made it a point to try to get along with my dad, because I don't want to be like my brother (he's gotten to where he won't even talk to my dad anymore).
Basically, I feel like my dad is treating me like I'm still 9, when I'm almost an adult now. If I stay up late at night, he'll take away the power chord to the computer so I can't use it. He always treats me in a very nasty manner, and never respects my privacy at all (I've caught him snooping through my room many times... he'll just start going through my drawers and closet...).
I'm sorry about this being so long, but it would be nice if I can get your opinions on the situation.

Feedback on the Dell Inspiron 15
I ordered one today. After customizing, the entire bill came to just over $1,300. The deal is I get 6 months interest free and then after 6 months, if I haven't paid it off, all the interest from the 6 months gets dumped onto my total. That puts my payments at about $225 a month (if I pay it within 6 months), which I'm a little unsure of. But I will find a way if I really want to. The interest would be pretty high once it would start. Something like 23%.
I did get a lot of good options... some of which you have to get if you want the interest free promotion deal. I'm not sure what all they added for the promo but I know they upgraded the memory and hard drive space.
I need this thing for college. I'm taking health science at an online university and they require MS Office, which is part of why that price is so high (I think that was $150). Also, I picked the best coverage for 4 years (even if I drop or spill something on it) which was over $200. Another $80 for the wireless router. I also upgraded the battery from 6 to 9 cell. I like the sound of this computer but I wonder if I'm paying more than I have to.
What I'm interested in, other than the MS Office, is the coverage (which sounds great if there's no catch), the battery life, and my ability to use it for school (which is why I'm getting it).
I don't PLAN on using it for music and pics but I know I'll eventually cave on that.
I'm not really into pc games... my favorite is the free online version of Chuzzle. So I don't need graphics or memory for that.
I have been reading (multiple) comments from people who say the keyboards on these are crappy... which would be a problem since I'll be typing on it frequently for school.
Are there any other issues I should know about concerning this computer or any suggestions where I might go that will give me a credit line and a good deal?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. =)

Mental issue and parents ignoring it what do I do need help
Okay, so I have a worker/counselor who I'm seeing. She is setting up things for me. The things I've been telling her and such. She thinks I should see a phycoligist. But, the thing is my parents may not want me to see him. It's free and they can come pick me up from school and take me to him. But, they want my parents to come with me. My parents wont do it. Like, there going to know soon. Also, since I'm 16 I don't need them to take me. I can go and skip a class or 2 to see him.
Also, there the Mental Health and yea, I can say I've thought of ending my life and other crap. It's just so hard to cope everyday on my own. The things I experiance and such.
I get really bad dreams. I wake up in fear and I don't remember anything that night. It's really foggy. It's like I pass out or something. I don't sleep that well. When I wake up it feels like I never gotten any sleep at all. It's like my brain works only of nightmares that haunt me everyday and I have to cope on my own.
Thats when this crap started to happen a really bad nightmare turned my life upside down. I just ignored my problems and this dream caused all my problems to come in all at once. Can you image a dream changes a person's life so badly like that.
Also, when my parents found out about the thoughts from the counselors at school they took away things from me. I can't go on the computer inless I have homework or play a game called WoW. I can't go on MSN to talk to friends I can't go on Facebook. All my friends want to know why I'm not online, I tell them nothing. only 2 of my friends know why.
I can't hand with my friends at home because I live out of town and it's hard. But with the counselors I can talk to they can drive to my house pick me up and chat for a couple of hours. It's free. But, my parents don't want me to talk to no one. They want me to talk to them. Like, they would know how to help me. With the thoughts, dreams, not being able to sleep, see and hear things, ect. They don't know how to help me.
Every day is hard. What should I do?
Also, what does a Phycologist do any way? What's there place? What's there confindeatalty (not to tell my parents the things I tell them)?

crazy drunken dad making me feel like the bad guy
i am 17 years old and my father is really stalking me. i had to quit the volleyball and basketball team because he would show up and yell at me telling me how much i suck. and i am a starter. he drives by my moms house for no reason at least twice a day and we had to unplug our house phone because he keeps calling and leaving messages on the home phone and my moms cell. i had to change my number so that he didn't have it. i started having panic attacks a while back anytime he got close to me and i broke down crying at the end of the volleyball games in the locker room because i couldn't take it anymore. he even kept calling the school having them tell me stuff in the middle of class. it finally reached the point where i couldn't get myself to go to school anymore and now i am finishing up online. his whole family doesn't think what he is doing is wrong and if i talk to them they go and report back to him. i was so afraid of being anywhere near him i couldn't get myself to go to my cousins funeral.
now i am left feeling like the bad guy in all of this and i really hate it. i don't know what to do anymore and i keep crying myself to sleep and i just want it to stop. i don't know if i will ever be able to get away from him. we had an order of protection but he broke that and was let off scott free because he is friends with the judges wife's family. if the law won't stop him what will???
i have run out of ideas
i cant leave cuz i have a little brother. but so far he has only come after me and my mother. and i'm afraid if i leave he will do the same thing to my bro.
im a girl not a guy by the way

What would this song title be
I'm having trouble thinking of this song title... I made the song. The theme is good and bad times of my life.
I love science and mathematics
They are my two favorite classes
Driving my family crazy with my antics
Hope I don’t break my glasses
Wrote a letter to the president
Early one autumn morning
How to help the environment
And maybe global warming
One morning when I got out of bed
My right ear had no hearing
Two years later they went through my head
A cochlear implant is what I’m wearing
One time when I was up at bat
Through the air the ball came
It hit me and then my shoulder got fat
So I ended up quitting the game
To Kohl’s I once went with my aunt
Found a few items I wanted to take
Asked if I can but she said I can’t
What I did next put my dignity at stake
Middle school was very rough
Going to 3 different schools
For me it was all too tough
Never got a chance to be cool
Don’t know why but I love candy
If it’s not sweet then it’s sour
I just think that it is dandy
At least one piece each hour
Now that I have a sweet desire
I have to go to the dentist
It’s nothing to really admire
After visiting I have a mint
During my last summer vacation
Didn’t know how to spend my time
Computers caught my appreciation
I’ve made lots of friends online
Fast-forward to the present
My parents don’t approve
This action I oh so repent
This quality I can’t remove
Without a helmet I once rode
Went of the sidewalk edge
Slipped my tire and head met road
For my teeth I didn’t have to dredge
During a walk I made a prank call
The punishment was severe
Thought I would end up in a stall
But I ended up coming here
NCPS sparked my love for books
Because I get to read on the van
Rarely concerned with my looks
But I still love to read all I can
One night my dad had one too many
They both got into a fight
Wasn’t in the least bit zany
We ended up crying in the night
In the mail I got a letter
Learned more about the Marines
All I wanted was free stuff like a sweater
At the age of seventeen
A recruiter came to my door
Gave me a short survey
My parents learned a little more
About what I did that day
At least everything that has happened so far
Has put me in the right school
My first day was a little bizarre
But now I know that I can rule
Now I’m worried about the future
What will happen in my life?
Just thinking about it is torture
Will there be any strife?
One night my dad had one too many
They both got into a fight
Wasn’t in the least bit zany
We ended up crying in the night
Oh and what kind of job will I have to get
To survive in the current economy
Maybe to help pay off our debt
I could get one in astronomy
I don’t like for things to change
Sometimes it takes the best of me
Things at times may seem strange
But I know that it’s destiny
