Good question. Many of us are potentially in the same boat you are in.

Assuming you are allowed to carry personal notebook computers to work (presumably as long as you refrain from connecting them to the network), you may want to consider a used macbook for OF use. I don't recall the specs and OF system requirements, but a used 12" powerbook might do just fine. If you are rolling in cash, an Air would do nicely . . . ;)
