Try looking at
Ebay (although they tend to be over priced on bottom end systems)
Student offers at you local university
Local second hand electronic shops of tv repair type shops.

Thanks for that, i am actually on ebay now, but like you say everything seems to be overpriced, some people must be really desperate for old laptops!
