getting a mac but need a little help.

Well my 21st b-day is coming up soon and I am considering buying a mac but I have a few questions.

This is what I will use the mac for.

-surf the net
-music
-a little photo editing

everythign else I will stick with doing on my pc.

What I want.

Black Macbook
1 gig or 2 gig ram.

I have looked at places like macmall.com and customized a mac with preinstalled parallels with vista just because I thought I could have the best of both worlds even though osx is the #1. When I customized it it came out to be around 1600. That is a lot of money for what I am gonna be doing. So my question is where is a good place to get a used mac? I know apple has some refurbished ones but that is about the only place I know other than ebay. I have looked at the buyers guide and I may wait a little longer to see when all the new crap comes out leopard/ santa rosa whatever that is that everyone is talking about. Hope you guys can help me make a decision.

Thanks.

 

Well I got an extra version of vista cause it sucks so bad no one wants it so I thuoght I would install parallels or bootlogger or whatever that crap is called and run both the os's but ya I will probably just look around for a white one for around a 1000. You know any good sites to get a nice used one or what not?
