[DC LoCo] cheap computer sources (for playing with/selling/donating)

[sat jiwan ikle-khalsa]

Phil posted a while back about (and frequently) about getting cheap computers and computer upgrade accessories to enable inexpensive creation of linux machines.

I recently found the stolen property auction site: (maybe there's some ethical reason i shouldn't be patronizing them....???)  http://www.propertyroom.com/Catalog.aspx?Category=Laptops&CategoryId=376

with lots of cheap computer options.  i was looking at laptops. many of them had missing accessories and did NOT include hard drives ("nor ship with operating systems due to licensing rules").  but the prices are pretty cheap. 

i googled around the site seems all legit, and products come as described.  relatively expensive fed ex shipping is a bummer, but i'm looking to get a digital camera or two for myself/family.

anyway, thought people might want to know about this resource.  lots of other things for sale there, too...  and apparently there's several other property auction sites (through treasury dept, and other...)
