A local chemical company has a surplus disposition center that parcels out a limited number of PC and Mac systems. In addition, there's a twice-weekly Goodwill that has occasionally yielded something useful.

Tony,
Here in Western Australia, many places have a rubbish recycling service
where the stuff people throw away has to be seen to be believed ! I
regularly pick up pc/xt desktop/portable/luggables for a song, usually
for $US 2.50 to $US 10.00 .
Perhaps you may have the same sort of thing in your area...
Best of luck,
Brendan
