My buddy needs to get one before we leave, he wants to play BF2 & bf2142 etc.. He asked me to help him out but Im not too sure as to which are better, you guys got any ideas? Preferrably something he can go pick up or order and get within a week or 2. Thanks dudes.

I dunno. It definately wouldn't be top of the line.

If someone else knows, I would be very eager to hear as well.

Well, I took a quick look at Newegg, and this may work:

Only problems with those are that I don't think they'll run BF2 or 2142.
