You should find a convention center listing near you so that when computer shows come to town you can get all kinds of stuff for really really cheap prices. I know some people that do that and sell them after they build them and make tons of money.

it would be cheaper to buy an old computer P2 or P3 for $100, then take it apart and see if you can put it back together :) search ebay.com for that stuff
