Please, help me find the least expensive laptop out there!

I am building a new gaming desktop that is going to be pretty top of the line, and I am spending about $1500. However, I am a poor college student though, and truthfully, a laptop is more practical (and arguably, useful) for me. I can't justify spending 1500-2000 on a gaming laptop because I know a gaming desktop built for half that price could probably totally spank it. So, what I have been thinking about doing is spending $1500 on the desktop, and finding the cheapest "get the job done laptop (get online, word processing, possibly audio recording for a lecture, etc...)" that I can find. I don't really care about the OS (though probably some version of Windows is best) or the specs, I just want it to work so I can get online and put openoffice on it. I have a wireless PC card (and a cantena that I built to go with it) that I would like to play with, so built in wireless isn't even needed.

Any suggestions?
 
You can get some pretty cheap ones at dell.com starting at like 499. Thats about as low as laptops go though, unless you get like a used one from Ebay or something.
