Laptop as a Monitor
Is there a way to make my laptop a monitor for desktop so I can do stuff on my desktop, using my desktop's keyboard and mouse? Also is there a way to move files from my desktop to my laptop and vice versa?

Q1, dont think you can do that. this may help http://ask.metafilter.com/51778/Lapt...-to-Desktop-PC
Q2, Usb key,crossover,network,dvd,cd.. the usb key or cd/dvd is probably best for ya, unless you have a network.. dvd is good cause u are also backing up ur work.. Edit: I have this and it works Great.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820233037 This may be better for you though.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227145 Price and size to start off.

Everything's possible over the network, but it's not practical...especially not video.
