I think I can donate a 20GB ATA 66(?) drive. Not a whole lot, but it's what
I've got spare right now. It'll be after the weekend, though, since I need
to move my system off it to the new 160 I bought.
On the other hand, if we've got the cash donations going, Office Depot has
160GB Maxtor 7200rpm 8MB cache drives for $150 before a $50 mail-in, getting
it down to about $100, which might be a better solution.
The DVD-Rom is an Apple rebrand from a Panasonic subsidiary. I've got an
identical one in my box at home. I will warn you that it took some
tinkering to get the BIOS to talk to it properly but that may have been the
fact that my bios is old. I can't remember exactly what I did to fix the
problem.
If you need any cabling, I can probably oblige.
Depending on the case, it may need case fans. Same for a chip fan,
heatsink, etc.
If there's anything else I can do, let me know.

: Alright folks, we are doing pretty well here. We almost have us a complete
: system. Everyone remember to check the specs on anything you have lying
: around at home and plan on donating to the cause. The more information we
: have, the better the system will be (Ben Doom, I am talking to
: you and those
: HD's you said you might be able to dig up).
:
: Also, if anyone could check around at your local computer shop
: for the price
: on an AMD Athlon processor that works at speeds greater than 1700+, that
: would be great. I'm thinking that's the one thing we may not be
: able to come
: up with just by swapping, and I would really like to give Mike something
: kickin.
:
: If anyone sees anything missing or that I forgot to put on this
: list, please
: let me know!
:
: MikeD - are there any parts from your old computer that still work (like
