I need a really cheap place to get a laptop. It should

have: A non-windmodem modem (possible a pccard),
ethernet (again possibly a pc-card) a cd Writer. And the cheaper the better.

This is on eBay - but it's not a bidding situation. Most of the folks
are dealers/refurbishers, and when you find something you like, the price
is stated, you pay for it, it arrives.
I've purchased three laptops so far, for much the same applications as
you are trying to fulfill, and I've been completely happy. One laptop
battery was crap (not rechargeable) - the seller replaced it via FedEx
overnight. I was impressed - I bought a CDRW upgrade from her as well.

PS: Prices for what you want seem to be in the $400 - $600 range...
