[Ham-Mac] Wanted, a Netbook running Leopard

IF Mac makes a netbook, I could not afford it when you look at the cost of
the $150  10" screen series of netbooks available out there.

Is it possible to buy one of these M$$$ OS'd machines and strip it down to
bare bones and install 10.5.n on it?

I am wanting to get a small PC to go with my mini scanner, printer, TS-480
and SL/USB.  This would of course, run my Winlink, MixW, etc.. and control
the radio thru the data ports from the mini laptop.

Buying my MacPro just about tapped me out on buying high dollar Mac hardware.
 I just want the super stability of the OS.X vs the sorry BSD and
sequestering of RAM of MS.


Any suggestions?

thanks,
