I've recently become a member here, and only several months since becoming one on Scrap Metal Forum
http://www.scrapmetalforum.com/forum.php
I believe the two could both find great benefit by being closely linked. SMF has become very into Ewaste and has many computer related threads. They have many scrap buyers listed (for times when you need to clean out the storage), as well as sellers (when you need hard to find parts, and they're hoping to find "better than scrap" value). They're often discussing what to do with vintage computers that yall are over here hoping to find parts for.
I have just myself discovered this forum today, after someone over there mentioned it, and have already seen this in detail on some old IBM 5160s that have been recently discussed on SFM(wondering what to do with them), and just today see threads here wanting parts from them
