Russell,

Sounds like Wade has what you're looking for, but for any others with
working equipment just collecting dust; Offer it up on Houston's
Freecycle mailing list, see: http://freecycle.org/.

I've donated printers, monitors, and other things there, as well as
being the recipient of such things as baby car seats and a baby's
highchair. It's a wonderful program and a perfect place for those
looking for specific things, or looking to clean out their closets.
