Should run you about $500-$700 if not cheaper.
This was true maybe 3 or 4 years back. Not the case anymore. I work at SAIT and picked up a few used ones back then. Now they are way overpriced. $650 for a used laptop that a has an old celeron processor with 512mb of ram and not even a dvd burner. You can buy a brand new one for that price.

Oh and I would totally stay away from Vista too.
