Where to source a beige PC tower?

[Vidar]

Just wondering if anyone had any idea's on where I could find an old beige PC tower as I'd like to have a go at maybe doing a retro gaming pc or a sleeper build or something as funds allow.


I've tried the bay etc but they all seem over priced or not what I'm after, has anyone had any luck finding them elsewhere?

Gumtree?

Tried on there, Shpock, Facebook and Freecycle. Doesn't seem to be much about...

Am wondering if there's a way of maybe sourcing one from a local tip or something but wouldn't know where to begin

local computer shop? they should have a couple of dusty ones? lol
also depends on what you consider overpriced or not...if you're not looking to spend more than a tenner, then most will be overbudget.

True but I'm not looking to spend up to £50 for a roughly 20 year old box... I'll give some computer places a call.
