Just be careful on Colfax Ave from about Quebec Street to downtown, was a rough area
when I was there in 76 and 82, and is said to be even worse. It's a main drag so keep
one eye open to deals and the other to problems.
Since the AF base closed down a lot of surplus is gone but there is enough corporate
business out there dumping machines to find plenty.
If I'm not mistaken the AF (or DOD) accounting and pay center is still there ans
regularly cycles out mainframes, minis and servers at auction, so there should be a
good source.

My girlfriend and I are hoping to go on holiday at
the beginning of August,
and right now, it looks like Denver/Boulder will be our destination. So,
does anyone know of any good thrift shops/swapmeets/etc. in the area?
I've been there. Look for 'Cascade Surplus Electronics' (I think).
Really,
though, the best bet is to hit the area and get hold of the local Yellow
pages. Look under 'Electronic Equipment and Supplies-Dealers' and
'Computers-Used.' You may also want to look under 'Surplus Merchandise.'
