Looking for a cheap (but reliable) PC or laptop.

I'm a Mac man, but I need a PC for a couple of non-Mac projects that I want to work on. Anyone have a cheap but dependable PC or laptop for sale/trade? Don't really care what it is as long as I can do the following:

run Windows 2000
able to connect to the net at home with my cable modem.
has a USB port
has a working HD
has a parallel printer port. (not a must, but I could use it for one of my projects)

A laptop would be great but not a must. Don't think I need a monitor since I'll probably be able to use the one I'm using for my Mac. Doesn't have to be high-performance either...just something that is reliable and doesn't crash allot. Let me know if you've got something.

Any particular CPU speed/memory/HD size requirements? Bare minimums, I should say. I have a stockpile of older, reliable computers that aren't doing much these days.

Thanks for the reply, FAB but I solved my PC problem with Virtual PC w/Win2k on my Mac. Don't really need a PC much now. I could still use a a cheap laptop with a parallel printer port if anyone has one though. All I want it for is so I can finally use that damn Gameboy Camera Link software that has been sitting on my shelf for the past 2 years collecting dust. Anyone have one for sale/trade?

I ran a G4 with OSX Jag newest version and it sucked with virtual pc so
i sold the mac.

I have an IBM T23 laptop that needs a charger chord and it only has
a floppy in the hot bay..... its a strong laptop and im asking
for a decent trade for it ...... its running windows XP and has a ram upgrade.
