Well, eBay and Craigslist are obviously good places to start looking. Make sure you know exactly what you want though, because you may end up with a completely stock machine and think it’s a good deal, when you could have paid 50 dollars more for a machine that has 200 dollars worth of upgrades that you’ll end up needing anyways.
