Where can I buy a cheap laptop from?

Where can I buy a cheap laptop from? It's getting harder to get laptops, according to this slashdot article However, Adam Secombe provided the following story/answer when looking through auction houses or used computer markets (check your newspaper):     "Keep this in mind when hunting for your notebook for our purposes, a notebook for wireless routing does not require a working keyboard or screen. During setup both of these items can be plugged in externally and removed once the machine is setup.     All the same, don't spend extrananous amounts of money on non-working hardware, it might be completely ratshit. $20 for a "condition unknown" notebook is fine.     The bare minimum I would go looking for is a 486DX of some sort, 8meg should be enough to boot Linux & any modules you require. For our purposes, we can also boot these routers off a single floppy disc - hence your notebook won't require a hard disk either. So if you see something around the place with 2 PCMCIA slots, grab it.     Most people won't want to frig around with their hardware as much as others, so getting a completly working notebook would be preferable..     From experience, cheaper notebooks can be found: "right place at right time" sorta thing.     Go to the Sunday Computer Market . Go to some auctions (non-online), check Saturday's Courier Mail for the auction and inspection time. Again keep in mind that you cannot return an item from an auction, so don't spend too much on something if you don't know what condition it is in.     If you get a chance to inspect a notebook, and power it up - do so. Make sure the unit powers up and you get a screen. I bought my 486 notebook like this, only problem was it has a shit battery.     The P100 I bought the other day had a bad screen and bad battery, but other then that it (was) fine, I traced the source of the screen's problems to a ribbon cable which had a cracked trace. I forgot to put the CPU back in the PCB & when i went to fire it up, I must have underloaded the power supply and it blew a 220 uF tantalum (because of the smell) capacitor, I'm hoping that's all that blew so a little surface mount soldering (oh I'm looking forward to that :() and it will fire up again.
