Not sure where you are located, but if your area has a Free Geek your set.  They are a computer recycler.  They get donations from large businesses. Typically when they are upgrading in mass.  Then they clean them up up install Ubuntu and sell them cheap.  Costs vary from $40 - $200, on most laptops depending on what you need.  They are not easy to google for.  I find the local one by typing in Free Geek Twin Cities. That will located the one we have in our state.  If just look up Free Geek you will find the one in OR because thats where their headquarters are.  Can't get a cheaper laptop in any other store I know of.
