The most important thing to finding old computers is to look in places
that you hadn't considered before. Think to yourself, "Who around here
would have had a need for computers 10 or 20 or 30 years ago?" Then find
places that fit the "who" and start investigating.

The key is to GET OUT THERE AND LOOK! I walked many, many, many miles to
amass my collection. Unless you like eBay, and even if you do, you won't
find the really cool stuff sitting behind your CRT.

And you'll have much more fun and much better stories to tell in the end.
