semi-cheap gaming laptop

Spring break is coming up and that means that I have a week of being home on a crappy dial up connection because I live in the boonies and that is the only option. I play World of Warcraft pretty heavily and dial up works for daytime play but for raiding I am going to need a better connection.

My plan is to take this laptop to a coffee shop or whatever and use the wireless connection on raid nights. I was going to get a laptop in the near future anyways so I am combining my needs with this. I am looking for a laptop that can play WoW with a decent framerate. I looked through the guides and other gamers posts and picked up some good suggestions but I was hoping to get the most current information possible.

I admit that I know very little about specs and even less about brands besides the mainstream ones. I don't plan on doing any digital editing or stuff like that. Just wordprocessing while on the road and some gaming when I am away from my desktop. If I could keep it at or under 1000 dollars that would be best. College students don't tend to have large sums of money laying around.

Any suggestions would be really appreciated here. Details are good because I might not know the abbreviations for companies or parts. Thanks in advance and sorry if this is the wrong forum for such questions.

Quick summary of what I need:
Cheapish - 1000 or under if possible
Gaming with a decent framerate
Wireless capability (I know nothing about this)
I dont think I need a large hard-drive because anything large will be on my desktop.
Graphics card that is good for World of Warcraft.
edit- forgot to mention that screen size really doesnt matter to me nor does weight since I won't be really carrying it around that much.

I dug deeper and found a WoW forum where this laptop was linked.

15 inch display
Pentium M (740) 1.73 GHz 533 MHz
512MB RAM 533DDR2
Intel GMA 900 Graphics (Shared Memory 128MB)
40GB 5400RPM PATA

To me this looks like it would work and is right at the 900 dollar mark. The only question I have is the operating system. It says that it doesn't come with one installed. Does that mean that they ship like the windows CDs with it and I install it myself or what?

Any opinions?

Thanks both of you for the replies. I will look into the eMachines. A friend directed me to a deal at dell where you get 400 off a 1400 dollar machine which hits my price exactly. Messing around with his advice got me this.

Inspiron 6000 Intel® Pentium® M Processor 740 (1.73GHz/2MB Cache/533MHz FSB)
15.4 inch WXGA LCD Panel
1GB DDR SDRAM 2 Dimms
128MB DDR ATI's MOBILITY™ RADEON X300 PCI Express x16 Graphics
40GB 5400rpm Hard Drive

and this for wireless since I had a few dollars left to spend to get it to 1400.
Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200 Internal Wireless (802.11 b/g, 54Mbps)

Once again any thoughts on this?

I am really leary of buying stuff online anymore. I used to play Everquest and when I quit I sold off my char and my platinum using Paypal. The buyer did a credit card chargeback and got his 500 dollars back and kept my million platinum. Paypal told me sorry we cant do shit for you because there is no proof of transfer.

Since then I really haven't wanted to get duped again so while I would love a used laptop, getting it from an anonymous individual probably won't work for me.

However if you know of a site with a great reputation that sells used laptops let me know for sure.
