A few weeks ago when I went to one place I visited regularly, they told me
they got rid of all their old computer stuff. There wasn't so much as a
single pc board or power supply to be found. One of my current favorite
spots, I find a box, load it up with board/cables/junk, and ask em what
they want. The more it's piled up, the better the price seems to be ;)
Most of the stuff I pick up at that place is old Mac/PC stuff, but I've
seen some Sun parts in there at times too. If you are looking for MFM/RLL
type drives, dead or alive, they seem to be one place worth looking.
Another place that used to be one of my favorites is a scrap metal dealer,
I don't go there much anymore, since they always wanted way too much money
for anything they had. They always seemed to have very loud annoying music
playing too :/

I've got a few favorite collecting spots
I'd be willing to share.
Sadly, some of my former favorites seem to have very few old computers
show up anymore.
I'd be happy to share places I look as well. Alas one of my most
favorite spots (had lots of classic stuff and was the type of place
with no prices, you'd grab a bunch of stuff and the manager would
ask what do you offer) threw everything out and converted to a
$0.99 store. Guess my offers weren't making him enough.
