Grab an Inspiron off Ebay. I got my 8200, 1.6Ghz P4M, 256 (upgraded to 512), 30G HD, Ge4Force 440 64 Meg, 15.4" 1600x1200 screen, DVD/CDRW drive and built-in wifi for $1000. I love the damn thing and with an optical mouse and nice keyboard, it's not a bad gaming machine. Heavy though so don't plan to carry it without a backpack or something.
