Oh no no no no.... Thank YOU Justin! The 5 IBMs that pass POST but need work, we have the spare parts in what you donated to get them up and running, I'm hoping to sell them for synhak at $100 each with no HDD on craigslist and put some cash in the bank. Now that we are an actual 501c(3) I'd like to get you or the organization that owned these laptops a donation receipt. If I could place a number value on everything you brought in, I'd say it's between $1250 and $1750 depending on what's working or not. And you say there is more? :D
