My acer pc died and the shop can't fix it so i'm looking to buy a new desktop or laptop. I have one more year until i go to college so I'm having a hard time picking either a desktop or laptop. I'm looking for a gaming desktop and I have stumbled upon this one.

I have heard of the bad things about Cyberpowerpc but this computer seems to be a good deal. I can return it to newegg if it comes messed up(right...? lol).
My other choice is a customized lenovo ideapad y550 with the following specs
System components
#
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor P8600 (2.40GHz 1066MHz 3MBL2)
#
Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium 64
#
Bluetooth
#
GeForce GT 130M graphic card
#
Black glossy cover and White Palmrest
#
15.6 HD WLED Glossy,1366*768
#
1x2 GB PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM 1066MHz SODIMM Memory( I'm going to add 2gb myself)
#
250GB Hard Disk Drive, 5400rpm
#
SuperMulti DVD Recordable (Tray type)
#
6 Cell Lithium-Ion 2.6Ah
#
Powercord for UL
#
Lenovo Standard Keyboard (White)
which one should I get? My friend told me that laptops are changing and that they'll be cheaper by the time I go to college(fall 2010). Any other suggestions? I'm scared to build one and my parents probably won't chip in to buy anything if i tell them that i'm going to build one. Thank you for your time
