Ooh, good deal...

I got me a Compaq Armada 1700 (Pentium II 266MHz with 160MB RAM and all drives intact) today for £2 (~$4USD), dunno if it works yet but when I get me a cloverleaf power cable I'll find out...

...oh, it's missing its keyboard though.

Got a DELL Latitude CPx J650GT for free, 12Gb hdd, 256mb ram, PIII 650. Added a 40Gb hdd and loaded XP on it. Runs really well, it's my school laptop now

Also got 2 Inspiron 7000's as well for free. One with a 14" display and the other with a 15" display. Only problem was no HDD's or HDD caddies. Got 2 of them for free later on though

Just bought myself a Toshiba Satellite A100 for $600 CAD. Runs Windows Vista Home Premium now

Where do you people get these cheap/free computers/laptops???!!!!

So, my turn:
I got:
Intel CA810 mainboard
Celeron 400MHz CPU
2x64MB RAM
for: Mobo: 1.22zł (about 0.4$) CPU: 0.12zł (about 0.04$) RAM: 2.44zł (0.8$)
Now PC based on these parts is working as office computer (Win98 and Office xp).
Where? there are some sales of military scrap. Unfortunately no grenades or machine guns

... But, there are some computers. For example: full computer (case, some guts inside, sometimes with 14" monitor) costs about 6.22zł (2$). Of course you don't know is it good. Once I bought a laptop computer (IBM TP Model 6042) for 25zł (8$), but I don't have a SCSI hard drive for it.
