Where to get old used towers?

I'm looking for some old, used towers, like the title says. I don't need anything special, in fact I'd prefer if they were the dull beige oversized towers. I don't care what's in them, but the bigger the case is the better. I've looked on eBay and craigslist and I'm not having much luck. Does anyone have any advice?

check out freecycle.org - when I closed our office, I got rid of a bunch of old cpus and monitors and other assorted crap... was cheaper to give it a way than it was to have a disposal company come in..

Keep watching craigslist.org. The upgrade/replacement phenomenon seems to go in waves. Definitely helps to check the larger areas if they're near enough to you.

Check local mom and pop computer stores. My father-in-law gives them away after he has had them piled up for five years or so..

We have a University surplus store that sells old computers for cheap. You might try to find one of those.

Wow thanks for all the suggestions, I'm living near UVM so there should be several areas for me to go. Thank you!
