I go to a lot of computer shows and HAM fests (amateur radio operator swap meets); you can get TONS of great deals on stuff. I recently bought 3 WD8013E ethernet cards out of a box of junk for $1/ea. I figured one would be good. All three were... :-) I've also bought motherboards pretty cheap - like $15 for a 386sx16 - (barely) adequate to run FBSD as a router; and $40 for a 486sx new in the box. 'course you get what you pay for - used equipment isn't guaranteed to work!! :-) Check out "http://www.acs.oakland.edu/barc/arrl/hamfests.html" for the list of ARRL sponsored ham fests.
