There are many sites on the internet. geeks.com computer-show.com How much do you wish to spend? 10,000 is a lot, got warehouse? Maybe place ads in newspapers, will pick up your computer scrap for free! Old stuff is cheap, newer stuff costs money. Maybe auctions bid4assets.com? Government auctions sell stuff by the palet, got fork-lift?\nMIKE

Check local thrift stores and consignment shops.\nTalk with those who deal in electronics.  I've discovered many useful computer systems (Gateway 2000s', PowerMacs) for around $20-$50 each.  Even bought a few.  They work great with old software from ebay with the kids' ages you have.

Most 'Pound Shops' sell them, HyperValue, PC World. They are cheap enough.

I would check ebay for motherboards.  Some stores on ebay may offer "new in box"  but I doubt companies are still releasing new stuff for old technology.

Unfortunately this computer is so old, that even the case itself and power supply will not be compatible with new parts.\n\nAlso, it will be cheaper to buy a new computer.  If you don't need lots of tech support, then get a computer cheaply from http://www.pricewatch.com \n\nThere are lots of system builders out there that will sell you a basic computer with Windows XP Home or Pro for a pretty reasonable price.\n\nWhen getting a new computer:  Pay a little more (not too much more)  and get one with 512MB RAM, SATA Harddrive  (It will say SATA...if it doesn't say Serial ATA or SATA, then it isn't SATA).\n\nIf you aren't going to use it for games, then you don't really have to worry much about the video card.

Whats the make and model of the older computer (need that to look up the specs). If it's a desktop you may be able to install a NIC card into the computer.

Try your computer store.

Try Shreve Systems.  Google it.  They have lots of older Mac components.  They claim to be the oldest and largest supplier of vintage Mac components.  I just heard of them today, actually.

I recommend buying all new.  Fixing that old computer means more trouble later.  If it is more than 3 years old, consider yourself lucky.  \n\nGet a Toshiba this time.  They are highly rated. \n\nLook at them at Wal-Mart or Costco.  Make sure that you LOOK before you BUY.   Also, inquire about their RETURN policy.  Stores that charge a RESTOCKING fee suck.

I don't know about the place your talking about but I do know at least here in Madison we have many small computer shops that have many older but still good computers for a cheep price.  Maybe they would be willing to donate a few of them, wouldn't hurt to ask.

No, you can always use parts. Myself I use parts off old computers all the time. Just today I took the cmos battery out of an old computer for my laptop. Also If its not really old you can try and sell it instead of junking it.
