Recently I've found a place called 'Free Geek' that is pretty much a tech-specific thrift shop/non-profit aiming to help eliminate digital divides.
When I first started learning I would go to a lot of second hand stores and just buy old systems to take them apart and see what could be made for a few bucks each, now that I have plenty of my own it's time to give back to such places.
Free Geek is awesome, but they're only in a few cities, I know about the ones in Minneapolis and Portland.
RIP Freegeek Chicago :(
There's one like it in the sf bay area. Called Oakland technology exchange East.
