Buy a Dell Vostro. You can get them for $350 through Dell small business (which sells to anybody, not just small businesses). Get 2 GB of ram and the rest doesn't matter.

For wireless Internet, we use Verizon PCMCIA cards here and they work really great. The download speeds are similar to low-end broadband (75-100 KBps downloads). I think we pay around $40 a month for it with our discount. You can get them in USB format, and even internal format if you want (the internal cards are fucking great).
