Don: City Museum. The ultimate goal isn't actually a wall, but a dome. We're planning on filling the dome on top of the roof (minus the first 13') with monitors & computers. iMacs would certainly be more convenient, since they're all in one.
Robert: Possibly Rebecca Shelby <[email protected]> might know of someone. I've had a few extensive discussions with her, and she's connected to a lot of people either wanting things or trying to get rid of them. They (swmd) issue grants to interesting projects involving recycling, such as http://stlouisteachersrecycle.homestead.com/ among other things. Speaking of which, Bworks could conceivably get some grant money from them for your computer recycling efforts.
