where can I get a cheap notebook (please recommend something too)

I've had good experience with Dell laptop hardware. The service side of things sucks *** however. I've got two Dell laptops (i8600 and i9200) and they have been problem free with the exception of a bad video card after 3 years on the i8600. I'd still recommend Dell laptops, the value is tough to beat. Just hope that you don't have to deal with tech support on anything more than a cookie cutter type problem.

I bought a used IBM Thinkpad P3: 500mhz, 160mb ram, 10gb harddrive. Got it on craigslist and picked it up locally for $100 cash. Works flawlessly and only gripes are its slow booting time and the battery life 1.5hr with screen on. Works just fine for tuning which is its sole purpose right now so I am happy.

Fry's has some rocking deals. The girl just got a 14" Widescreen Compaq at under $500 3 months ago.
http://shop1.outpost.com/product/4971431 <- is a good deal too.
I like the Thinkpad: http://dealnews.com/deals/Refurbishe...ed/136786.html
The thinkpads have always put up with a lot of abuse. I particularly like the mouse eraser unit when tuning since it's grease resistant.
