There is a very active group of hams down your way who are into ARDF (I can
send you addresses if you are interested) and I have found hams to be a very
good source of older computers!!! And as an aside, current research seems to
show that expending over 2200 calories a week can slow up, and even reverse
the clogging of arteries that lead to some major inconveniences (such as a
bypass.) ARDF can be a really fun way to expend some calories for those who
have a competitive and technical bent.

Well, there are these very organized "swap meets" where you can buy new
computer bits at a good price and occasionally some older things (like
5.25" SCSI disks) but I've never seen anything interesting for sale. I'm
sure there are places where old computer gear is sold but I've never come
across one...
