Hi Matt, You could try Apple's refurbished section
Http://www.apple.com/store. They often have pretty good prices depending on the model of Mac that you are interested in buying. As far as running Windows a lot of us use Fusion Which works wonderfully. Good luck. Kind regards, Mr Sadam Ahmed Diploma of business management/logistics the AshMark Institute of Australia. Ltd.
