Turning to the Mac side

Well, trying to but it ain't easy!! First up I tried to buy a superseded MacBook from NextByte's clearance items. I rang, placed the order and thought it was all good but a few minutes later, I get a call back saying that particular item is in pieces in a workshop because there's a problem with it so it can't be sold... BUMMER! Specs and price for that one are as follows:

$1049: Intel Core Duo 1.83Ghz/512Mb RAM/60Gb HDD/DVD CD-RW combo drive/White/12 month warranty

So after a bit of a hunt around, I've found another superseded on on eBay. Specs and price for that one are as follows:

$1299: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.83Ghz/512Mb RAM/60Gb HDD/DVD CD-RW combo drive/White/12 month warranty (+3% surcharge for credit card)

Seems a little pricey but it might be in my stretchable budget...
After a bit more of a hunt around, I've found yet another one! This time from Mac1's firesale listed just this morning. There were 2 available so I rang up to enquire about it but they're already sold too! They were only listed THIS MORNING!! :( Details for that one:

$1199: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.83Ghz/512Mb RAM/60Gb HDD/DVD CD-RW combo drive/White/3 month warranty (refurbished)

The last one would be the ideal one but I don't know if I want to fork out quite that much for it...

$1699: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0Ghz/1Gb RAM/80Gb HDD/DVD super drive/White/12 month warranty

Of course there's always the NEW path:

$1449: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0Ghz/1Gb RAM/80Gb HDD/DVD CD-RW combo drive/White/12 month warranty (educational discount)

I'll keep looking... Anyone else know where to source a cheap macbook?? TELL ME ASAP IF YA DO! Ta.
