[svlug] Computer hardware for a school

Greetings all,

I'm trying to build up the technology program at my school, and 
wondering if this list could recommend any places to hunt for cheap or 
donated hardware.  My students have shown a lot of enthusiasm for 
learning to put their own computers together, but we need the raw 
materials to work with.  I hope to get some low-end equipment together 
for them to work with, and probably use Knoppix or SuSE on top of it: 
I'm shooting for pentium or higher cpu/mobos, CD drives, floppy drives, 
hard drives, and some old monitors/keyboards or some such.

If anyone knows of a good place around here to go hunting for equipment 
(or if anyone wishes to donate some equipment themselves), I'd be 
delighted to hear from you.

Best,
jmj
