To add on to what Torrie is saying, these systems can also be resold, spend $100 to make one, sell it back out at $150 on craigslist. Refurbishing old machines can be a source of income for the space, instead of just dues and cash donations, I'm more than happy to put in the work.
As I asked in my original post, if anyone has any *working *socket 775 motherboards, power supplies, DDR2 or DDR3 RAM and working monitors, or a reputable source of working parts at a cheaper price, please let me know as Craig did (Craig we can go over the details in person and contact your guy about stocks and price.) Justin, I chose these parts because they come from reputable dealers where I know we'll get working components with a recourse if the turn out to be faulty vs buying on Craigslist or Goodwill where quality can be suspect and no returns are possible. I also support the idea of holding off on this as suggested by Xander to find out what we are going to do about our location before purchasing new assets. For now, I've already created one working computer using what we have, I can set that up in the electronics lab as an electronics design station like Torrie suggested which is a FANTASTIC idea that I didn't think of. That I can do tonight. Torrie, Xander, Justin, Craig, I really love and appreciate your input, great ideas are coming from everyone on this, I look forward to next meeting :)
