Yolanda,

  You may want to be careful with the "militarily decomissioned"
PCs, in case you don't already know. From a few threads that I
have seen, the HDD(s) are run over with a magnate wiping them
clean and there is generally no software/drivers/setup-disks
included. So if any are rare propietary type PCs, then you may
end up with a big paper weight. One thread that I saw was where
a guy had bought a couple of notebooks, only to later realize
that the built-in locks were locked and there was no key. :-/
