I've had excellent results purchasing "factory refurbished" Macs from any 
of these three vendors.  One nice thing about purchasing this way, as 
opposed to purchasing a used Mac from a private party, is that you get a 
warranty.:

Apple Store

SmallDog

&sort=score&words=refurbished> 

Mac User Group Store (if you are a member of a MUG)/PowerMax (if you 
aren't)
http://www.applemugstore.com
http://www.powermax.com 

I've found that sometimes you can call these places, and tell them what 
you want, and they may have it for you even if its not on their Web site.
