Where to find old/cheap hardware in KC (WAS: RE: DamnSmallLinux on Retro hardware)

[Russell Starr]

I've been there a couple of times.  It has a good variety of stuff.
Anything from network stuff to desktops to MACs to severs.  I didn't buy
anything, but a friend of mine got a laptop for his mom.  I think it was a
IBM P3 600mhz, 128MB RAM for like $300.  I think it might have been a
390X.  He was able to test it out there and the battery works well.

I talked to one of the guys there and he says they get truck loads of
hardware all the time.  Its fun to just go and look through the piles of
stuff.  There is lots of junk, but if you look around you'll find some
goodies.

Anyone want to share with us any good buys from surplus exchange?

This is my first post.  Some of you may have seen me on IRC.  (trend)
