You should also check out your local recycling centres if you are interested in making similar finds. It happens that they throw out 1-2 year old pcs just with a broken cdrom! Someone i know who work at such a centre has found himself one p3 1+ghz laptop and a p4 one and the problem with both of these was that the monitor cable had gotten loose :-o
Amiga equipment is on the other hand harder to find.. The only amigas i came over so far is two working a500 and one smashed a500.
