You should easily get a ThinkPad T30/T40 (P4-2.0 GHz/512MB RAM/60GB HDD) 
on Ebay for about U.S.$350. But there are refurbished and not brand new.

Since you mentioned your budget of $700 - $1000, why not just buy a 
brand new ThinkPad R61i or ThinkPad T61 which comes under $1,000?

Of course, FreeBSD is a great OS which can be used on your laptop. In 
fact, 75% of my servers are based on FreeBSD.

But since you mentioned that the primarily use of this laptop will be 
for gaming purposes, I don't think that FreeBSD is the right OS for this 
stuff. Of course, I could be wrong because I don't play games on my 
FreeBSD desktop.

But you are free to try the gaming stuff on FreeBSD and provide us the 
feedback!

Anyway, SGT, take good care of yourself out there in Iraq.


Thanking you...
