The ACCRC most likely has stuff like this. Contact them at their UsedTech
site:
http://www.usedtech.org
It's a terrible site to navigate, but basically you dig through the
screens and find what you're after and then post a message to the forums
telling them what you want.
(Hint: most of the pictures are completely outdated. The best thing to do
is just go straight to the forums and tell them what you want and Alex
will go digging for it for you and then get back to you with a (very
reasonable) price.)
