You might want to look at a used PowerBook G4 or an older iBook G3 or iBook G4. You can check the following link from Low End Mac for some good deals:

Also, telephone local companies. See if they are upgrading their equipment and are happy to sell on. I believe Adobe have a database of graphic design, print, etc. companies.

OWC has some dirt cheap G3 laptops.. starting at $209. You may be able to get a low-end TiBook, but they suffer from hinge problems, paint chip problems, and the iBook is cheaper..

They do look sweet, however.

You can get a wide variety of used laptops on eBay, but they're not always the cheapest.

Actually, OWC sells wireless (Airport) iBooks for $219, below your budget.
