Barebone Notebooks?

I'm going away to college this year, and I'm going to drag my box there with me, but I was also thinking about buying some inexpensive type of laptop. I'm not looking for anything in it except the hardware, heh, just something I can load Fedora and Openoffice into. Is there a good online store to find something like this?

I just bought a Dell inspiron 8500 in $500 found at froogle.com

Maybe if you try using the price range option you might find something.

I've yet to have a problem with mine I bought from them.

heh. I bought a barebone notebook from Medion for £500 and it was a DOA, so they gave me a £1000+ one for no more money. This was last September.

It's a P4 3.2ht, 60gb, 512, mobile 9100 gfx (OK), dvd re-writer, card reader, just a desktop replacement that I wanted but couldn't have afforded initially.

So I was happy :D

You forgot to translate that into real money.
