bullet-proof, great sounding Intrateds - used

I'm looking for the most Interated Amp or receiver that I can get for use in a vacation house that I have. Since I rent the house out, I don't want to invest a lot of $, and need something fairly simple, and rugged, but I need something to prevent withdrawal when I'm at the house and away from home rig. Here's some preferences:

Budget: <$350 (USED)
Remote control
50-80 wpc
cool running as it will be inside a cabinet.
inputs will be cd player (nothing special), tuner, Satelite TV audio

I'll be driving Paradigm 7seII speakers for now, but that may change.

I listen to all kinds of music

Recommendations, please?

thanks in advance.

thanks guys, I realize at this price level I can't expect much, but was hoping there might be an integrated that stands above the rest - though maybe a little aged.

I have a Sony STR-DA555es receiver I could use, but am wondering if there's a integrated with less feature, better sound. I've had NAD and Rotel gear and prefer Rotel. I also have my eye on Arcam - is it likely an Arcam will best Rotel? How about the Rega Brio or Mira integrated seem to be available used near this price range.

Let me know if any of these stand out, or should be avoided. Any others I should look into?

thanks again . . .

thanks for the add'l thoughts . . . very helpful direction for my search.

Viridian, sadly I had no money on Bluegrass Cat. On the other hand, I keep a separate and well funded budget for drugs, sex, and gambling, so I think I'll be ok!
