Actually that's not a bad idea.  A few years back (well, okay more like 
17 years ago) I went to a Amateur Radio & Electronics fair and apart 
from having an amazing range of electronics they also had some stalls 
selling new and second user computer bits.  IIRC I managed to pick up a 
12" VGA monitor for about £30, a duff 170MB hard drive and a copy of 
OS/2 2.0 :-)
