In Portland Oregon I would try the Free Geeks Thrift
Store on 10th St
east side 2 blocks south of Hawthorn.
In Eugene Oregon I would look at NextStep Recycling thrift store. They
often have 2 inch hard drives but I haven't looked at them.
Are there any of these kinds of stores in the Chicagoland area? The
only one I know of is Software Re-Runs, but that's more of a repair shop
than a recycler/thrift.
I have had *zero* out of at least 20 goodwill store successes (99% of
the computer stuff is old VGA monitors) so that's out in this area.
