Help: Good laptop deal

Hi,



I have about $500 to buy a laptop that works. It could be used or refurbished, as long as it's not a piece of crap. Of course, brand new is preferable.



Here are the minimum specs I'm looking for:



17" LCD (nothing less!)

1.4 GHz

256MB RAM

40GB Hard drive

USB ports

Wireless internet



If somebody could point me to a source that gives me something like that or better for around $500 or less, I would greatly appreciate it.

That has everything you need except screen size, i dont think you can find a new one that has a 17" screen for that price.

You can also try the Dell Outlet store, sometimes you get pretty lucky there...
