Check out www.collegelaptops.net Call them actually, I got a better deal on the phone then what the website said. They have lots of older IBM and Dell's. I got a IBM Thinkpad with a P2-266, 160mb RAM and a 4.3gb HD, and 20X CD, floppy, and Win98SE for $399 (US dollars). This guy is all over Ebay too, but I found that his reserve was higher then he wanted when I called.
