I have here Dell Inspiron 2200 (Dell offered it new for $600 which I couldn't resist) and although there are some rough edges (I have to use Xorg packages with VESA driver, modem should work, but I have not managed to make it work yet, and wireless card works with ndiswrapper and Windows drivers) generally speaking I am quite satisfied.
