You might try the swap meets... I've seen (and bought) 486-class lappies whose primary problems were bad screen hinges (not really relevant if you're rebuilding into a frame) and-or bad batteries for like 10 USD or less.

Nothing in your task couldn't be done with a 486-40 (common lappie speed), with 8Mb of memory and a 200Mb hard disc (or why not a CF card in an adaptor?)
