   It rather depends on how old an Itty Bitty Machine you wish to obtain. Original   
   Pee Cee examples are pretty much hen's teeth. Even XP boxes are getting hard to   
   find. Haunt eBay, post a "Wanted" on Craig's List and/or your local freecycle.   
   Talk to the people at the local Computerbanc, or a computer/electronics   
   recycler. I used to buy PCs by the skid at my State Surplus Property auction.   
   I'd mine them for hard drives and power supplies and send the cases and   
   everything but the circuit boards to the scrap yard.   
      
   Good luck with your search. But, I fear that what I think you are looking for   
   has long since been sent to China to be reprocessed into Macintrash products.   
   Or Lenovo stuff.   
      
   ... America is the only place where people go hunting on a full stomach.
