1 computer science and digital media arts combined?
im looking into colleges right now and i want to do digital media arts (film, photography, animation) but i need something solid too just in case i cant get a job, so thats where the computer science comes in. its a very unique combination so im finding it hard to find a college that has both in one major or the ability to study both. wellesley has a major like that but any other specific schools?
A better degree for your purposes would be Software Engineering Technology, such as at Oregon Institute of Technology.

1 What is the recommended computer System for digital photography?
What PC is best? What is the min RAM. How big of a hard drive? Ect
To be honest PC is not the best system to use, Apple Mac is far superior but not everybody can afford that (including me!).
I use PC and to be honest my system is ancient but works!, when it finally dies I will replace it.
I currently have..
Dell something or other.. Intel Pentium 4 - 2.80ghz 2gb of RAM
Hard Drives Internal - 160gb 2x 300gb external hard drives
This is enough for me to easily run Adobe Lightroom, Adobe CS3 and firefox in the background with no problems. I picked up this computer about 4 years ago for about £150 with monitor and a few other bits and pieces. Since then I have purchased a 21 inch Dell Trinitron CRT monitor (can not beat the old CRT trinitron monitors for photo editing, superb quality and better than the flat screen TFT screens, google it and find out!)..
I picked up my monitor on eBay for £30, an absolute bargain.
To give you a better and quick answer, I would say the minimum RAM required is 2gb (go for 4gb if you can), hard drive I would say minimum of 160gb internal but these days you get 10x that as standard. Back up everything to external hard drives! (important). And I would say that 21 inch is minimum for monitor size, anything less gets very cramped.
It's all subjective really, this is my personal opinion and how I operate, some people will say that you need to spend £1000's on a computer system, I reckon mine is worth less than £100 now but works absolutely fine for me!.
