Only one place left for serious scrounging and that's Surplus Exchange,
1100 Hickory, down in the West Bottoms.

There's Computer Garage, but he doesn't have much old stuff. Computer
Swap Shop on Johnson Drive in Mission has a bit more, but he's been
cleaning out the non-moving merchandise.

If you like new (and can handle the pricetag) Micro Center on 90th and
Metcalf in Overland Park KS is nice to wander through. Very good
selection of computer books, some are even on sale.

Beyond Bytes on 40 Highway near MO 291/I-670 has a very small selection,
not really worth going to unless you're looking for something to buy that
day.

His Will Computer Surplus on 23rd in Independence has a lot of wall warts,
if you need one. A smattering of other things, and a nice selection of PC
cases.

T-t-t-t-that's all f-f-f-f-folks,
