Aside from an older system, possibly a refurbished corporate desktop, I know of a few older IBM desktops for about that price, I don't think you can do it. You could try looking in the bargain bins for earlier versions though :).

These two programs are very robust as they can allow you to run almost every other operating system, aside from any Mac OS after the 68k series, within windows.

VMWare runs on Windows and Linux, and Virtual PC runs on Windows and Mac (but Mac OS can only run on Mac hardware, it hasn't been emulated properly yet :< )

Good heavens! Isn't there something for around $50 that will do that same thing?
