Cheap windoze box/laptop to add to Airport Network

[Thomas D . Kearns]

I finally got my home Airport network working.  Thanks for the help 
over the months.  I upgraded the Blueberry iBook to Jag and that got me 
over the top.  Now I am ready for the next step, a cheap Windoze box or 
 a laptop with Wifi to add to the network.  Why, you might ask, since 
all important stuff gets done on the Mac?  Well, I  want to run a game 
that is not particularly graphics intensive but is now available only 
on Windoze. The game has a net play option that I want to play so I 
need to access the net.  Alternatives:

1.  a cheap  box to connect to my SMC ethernet hub but I don't want to 
add another monitor or another keyboard.  I have enough floor space but 
I don't want another screen or keyboard - no room.
2.  a cheap  (as you can see price is important) laptop w WiFi to 
connect to the Airport.

Considerations:
a.  I had trouble w old versions of Virtual PC and game co does not 
recommend that.
b.  the game is not a heavy graphics game and I don't need a fast chip
c.  it's got to be really easy to set up, use and maintain (its taken 
me months to get my network working!).
d.  I need a floppy and a cd (the game comes on cd and it has copy 
protection on a floppy).  No DVD needed.
e.  sound not important

Questions:
I.  Recommendations?
II.  If re-conditioned is the way to go, where should I buy 
reconditioned unit?

My Set up:
iMac, 17" inch flat screen, 10.2.6
Blueberry iBook, 10.2.6
SMC EZ Hub 10/100
Original Airport (graphite)
Verizon DSL
