Possibly broken, I don't care. I can't find any anywhere! It is for somewhat of an art project. If you have a keyboard and/or mouse you can mail me, I will paypal you for shipping and such. PM me!

...or your local thriftstore. Probably cost less than shipping... actually, if you go to Best Buy or someplace, you can probably buy a NEW one for under $10, still probably less than shipping.

2. Have you tried thrift stores like Salvation Army? |
|
I can't speak for the US, but in Canada they're known for old non-working computer crap. My partner's a set dresser in the film biz; she does art/performance/museum installations as well. It's her "first stop" for that kind of junk.
Good luck!!!

I've been tripping over a set (fried when I spilled a bit of diet coke on it. I have no idea why I haven't done anything with it, but it is a nice smaller set--from Sony. PM me, if interested.

8. that's pretty funny, but not near as cool as the pc in a breadbox.. |
|
I spotted a cheap and cheerful plastic celebration of modern life in a large bin at an IKEA store. The label on the bin read: Breadbox $6.50. As I checked its dimensions with one of the paper measuring tapes IKEA offers customers who don't bring their own, a teenager ran up, grabbed a breadbox, and yelled to his friends nearby, "Hey, lookit my new iMac! Hahahahahaha!" That was good enough for me. I bought one. The picture above shows the end result some 10 days later. It's a complete PC in a breadbox.http://www.silentpcreview.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=42&page=1
