I regularly visit the Salvation Army "as is" store in Waukegan Illinois (hometown of Jack Benny), and I have "my guy" who usually gives me pretty good deals on stuff. My best find so far is a working NeXtcube for $40.
My "guy" has been made manager and decided to unload all the picked-over junk. And I mean junk. Old bicycles piled high. There are maybe 5-7 large dumpsters loaded with the dregs of unwanted crap. I happened to stop in Saturday and he told me that after Friday all of the computer stuff was joining the unmarked graves outside. I went in today, and they had already loaded 2/3 of the non-Apple stuff in the dumpsters. I'm talking all kinds of old PCs and word processors. Tons of monitors and printers. Miles of unknown cables. But true to his word my "guy" had a lonely corner set up for me. Most of this stuff I had picked through, but I couldn't see it dumped unceremoniously into the chute. So, for $25, I packed 2 loads into my Roadmaster (thank heaven for my land yacht), and I got everything except 4 12" RGB monitors. This is what I got (I took inventory as I unloaded, and my back is very sore.)
