Computerbank SA looking for help

I am looking for some help with Computerbank South Australia. To get a
background of this project please look at http://www.linunix.com/cbsa for our
effort, or http://www.computerbank.org for an idea of where we are going.
Basically, we simply salvage unwanted hardware, make systems out of it, add
an open source OS and applications and give it to someone who could not
normally afford it. We then help them to make the most of it.

How we exist today:
:about 2 tons of salvaged hardware (486dx's, monitors, keyboards, mice,
etc)
:a small list of people wanting systems
:a basic web site
:a handful of volunteers
:no organisation, no constitution, no storage space

What we should achieve shortly:
:constitution
:incorporation
:dynamic web site
:many volunteers
:work for the dole scheme
:permanent storage
:hopefully your ideas in place:)

What we need:
:unwanted hardware
:help
:storage
:fresh ideas
:lots more

Please have a look at the site and let me know what you think of the
project. 

thanks

shaun
