I've just been poring over the Lenovo site, and they sell Thinkpads without an OS: http://shop.lenovo.com/us/thinkpad-laptops-with-dos.shtml but the prices are still rather high. Keep looking, though, as they're constantly running promotions, like free RAM and hard drive upgrades.

They also have an outlet with refurbished and overstock items: http://outlet.lenovo.com/

The refurbs from Lenovo are a steal. Buy one of the T- or X- lines and you'll have a very solid laptop.
