Anyone else looking forward to Dragon Age? (Spoilers and plot discussion here)

I need to get a faster computer so I can run this.

My main problem is making enough room to play it.  My hard drive is only 80 gigs, and this game takes up 20

I have an extra 1TB hard drive sitting here on my desk.

80gigs?

I think If I delete NWN2 and all the expansion packs, and my various mods and demos I have on Steam, I might be able to free up enough space for Dragon Age.  I already removed L4D, which gave up nearly 6 gigs, but there are some tough choices to make now. 

I think I'm going to look in to portable hard drives.

I won't comment on my 1.2 TB of HD's then (though it's really only 880gb of free space )

I only have a laptop at the moment and the GPU is not up to this. It just barely fulfills the minimum requirements, so I guess it won't work in a reasonable way.

So Direct2drive is letting me pre-load starting later today, so i can start playing early on tue.

Serious question:  Can I delete HL2 from Steam without it affecting TF2 or CounterStrike?  I really need the space it's taking up for Dragon Age.

Yeah fairly sure that they're standalone games.
Worst case scenario, you might need to download some additional Source files after deleting HL2 but I doubt it.

for some reason I got an error message when I tried to buy from D2D so I pre-ordered from steam instead.

20 gigs is a bit much.

TF2 is standalone. I don't have HL2 and TF2 is fine.
