[TriLUG] Good place to get excess equipment?

[Jim Ray]

Dude...let me hook you up. I'm pretty sure I have a laptop circa 1.8 GHz with 512 MB RAM that only needs an external mouse. If no, I have another 800 MHz laptop with hosed video (external monitor may work fine - no guarantees).

Any chance I might get some beer out of the deal for both? Bubbaweisser doesn't count.

Subject: [TriLUG] Good place to get excess equipment?

So where's a good place to buy excess equipment? I'm thinking of things like
lot auctions, salvage and excess from IT shop upgrades.

Specifically, I  want to get a laptop to replace my young daughter's elderly
desktop. Since I don't want it for mobility but to save space, I'm hoping to
find something with decent CPU and memory capacity but a broken screen or the
like so I can get a good deal...
