I ended up going with a refurb Dell Inspriron 15r with 2.33 dual core Intel processor, 3GB ram, 250GB hard drive, built in webcam, 6-cell battery and wireless N card for $524 shipped. I'm pretty happy with that. Can't wait to try Link on a lappy that stay on for more than 20 minutes.

Good deal. I got a scratch and dent XPS Desktop Quad core 8GB ram and lots of bells and whistles, for pretty cheap. I was thinking it was going to come beat to crap, but when it got here all it had was a small scratch on the side of the tower... which i then took a towel and rubbed it off. hahah.

I've had great experiences with Toshiba's(the cheapest they offer). Between myself, my wife, my bro, my sis in law, we've been going strong with them for 6+ years.

My sis and her family, well as my in laws have gone with Dell, Compaq and Acer, and they all blow chunks(the cheapies).

The laptop I'd consider right now Steve is this(however I'm not sure about the "celeron" processor):

I'd also keep an eye on this site(best buy owned). I bought an Asus for the wife, nice laptop:

Mo, see my post above. I'm the proud owner, next Thursday, of a refurb Dell. Not exactly a heavy duty rig, but plenty for what I need. Mostly tuning when my pile is done next week.
