Advice on Acquiring an Old Laptop

[poena.dare]

Before I throw some money at a random person on the interwebz, I thought I would check here...

For reasons computational, sociological, and religious I cannot articulate on this forum, I am shopping for a refurbished laptop. I am looking for:

* Something that will run EQ titanium decently.
* A manufacture date as close as 2000 as possible.
* Comes with Win 2K OS.
* Cheap.

So far I've discarded numerous IBM ThinkPads built around the time of the T20 and Dell Latitude C Series mainly because of rarity.

Right now I'm leaning towards something from the Dell Latitude D Series, but that is so 2004.

I'm sure there are huge gaps in my knowledge about that time period, even though I worked in the industry and had not dropped acid in 10 years. Surely someone on this forum has better recall than I?

Thanks!
