It's a little bit more spendy, but take a look at Apple's discounts on refurb iMacs. The inventory fluctuates but a 20" Intel-core machine should not be out of your price range with a little bit of thrifty budget management, and Parallels Desktop for Mac is $80 retail. I recommend a minimum 2GB RAM and 120GM hard drive if you go that route, just so you've got resources to spare for an XP virtual machine.
