RE: Where to get used (cheap) hardware

["David Hamilton" <dhamilton@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Down here in MSU land we have the MSU computer salvage.  They always have
old hardware.  Sparc 10's for $50 with monitors, etc...

517-355-1855 is MSU information.  Just ask for the number to MSU salvage.

The State of Michigan also has auctions a few times a month
