I have some old equipment, cables, etc., that may be of use to you,
including a couple of old laptops.  Those may be delayed since I need to
figure out how to wipe the drives first, but they're yours if you can
put them to good use.  I also have a Belkin 4-port KVM and some cables
to go with it, an 8-port Linksys router (no wireless), a couple of NAS
drive enclosures, one that needs repair, etc.

Let me know if any of this could be useful.  Are you doing this as a
charity?  Tax writeoff maybe?
