Need to buy a good laptop under $1200

(I'm not really sure where I'm supposed to post this, but this looked like the best place)

Basically, I need a budget laptop that can play a respectable amount of games decently. As long as it can run, say WoW and HL2/CS:S at medium settings, I'll be happy. I do have two requirements other than the $1200 limit though:
1) I won't buy from Dell; I've just had so many bad experiences with them that I just won't do it again
2) It has to have XP...Vista annoys me to death

And, to answer the inevitable question, I need this thing in 2 weeks, so I really can't build in that amount of time. I just want to order a nice pre-made computer online. So, with that being said, does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks!!!
