Packermatt7 - what is "prog?"
Aggie83 - Your son uses his sleeping bag in his room? Is it that cold and/or is he that cold blooded?!
I would definitely hold off on the desktop until at least Parent's Weekend. You won't be able to access the internet (or other USAFAnet resources) and you won't have any of the USAFA software that's preloaded onto your computer. I recommend waiting until you are well settled into the academic/training lifestyle and then make your decision.When are we allowed to bring our own desktop?

Phone after Prog (middle of october)
Printer/Scanner/Copier is fine
Computer monitor, up to 24" (Squad discretionary, usually after prog)
Snowboard/Ski gear
Alarm clock w/o radio
That's about it. 2 personal memorabilia can be on your desk, the rest is pretty much issued to you. you get privileges like media back after Recognition.
Prog is midterm, lesson 20, when the first academic progress report comes out.
Aggie83, I used (and still use) a sleeping bag all year. Since a 4* bed has to be in SAMI all the time it is easier to place a sheet on top of the bed then use the sleeping bag. In the morning all you have to do is put the bag away and tighten the bed sheets. Some freshman just buy extra blankets as an alternative to a sleeping bag.
