I want a 12" ibook or something similar, just to have a different OS around. Anyone know where I can get one for around $100?

The OS or the computer for $100?

The computer ^_^

It could be in crappy condition. So long as the screen and motherboard works, and it has the HDD caddy.

I still don't like macs, I don't wanna spend much on one.

Just wondering?

because apple says you can only run osx on there hardware / systems made my them

News Update
Review: MacBook Pro is "Undeniably Beautiful"

“The Macbook Pro is gorgeous to look at and use”, write the team at Stuff Magazine. “The brushed aluminium design is undeniably beautiful and the fact that it’s lost even more weight, dropping 0.1 kg to weigh in at 2.45 kg, is astounding. Touches like the ability to illuminate the keyboard when you’re using it in a darkened environment and the quick release MagSafe power cable mean it remains the most stylish solution in the land of laptops”.

Thanks man. My parents were staunch Apple advocates so I grew up with them. Started with an Apple ][e when I was 2 years old. Moved on to the PowerPC era when I was in 4th grade. Got a G3 in middle school. Kept 'till High school, switched to my first PC build. Since I've moved out, I have had several hand me down laptops as my parents upgrade theirs (the Powerbook/iBook). The PB till runs great, I use it all the time. The iBook runs fiine and is in the living room for friends to use / to look up movies on IMDB etc. I bought myself a Mac Pro recently for video editing and graphics work. The Mac Mini is my current HTPC, it plays 720p MKV files nicely using FrontRow and Perian, and a little bit of haxoring.
