The least T model that meets the built-in wifi requirement.  Not sure
about DVD RW availability.  T23 offers a CD/DVD, also a separate CDRW
drive.  My T23 has one serial, one parallel port.

Check IBM auctions (ebay), pc connection, tigerdirect, and any other of
the usual suspects for new in box machines.
