[PLUG] Need help with computer lab

I am setting up a dedicated computer lab at my kid’s school. We’re a cooperative in Mt Airy Philadelphia coming up on our 50th year, and completely dependent on donations and tuition. We recently adopted a sliding scale tuition to make sure we are an economically diverse community, but this means we are even more heavily dependent on fundraising.

Does anyone have any equipment they could donate?

Currently looking for the following:

Monitors (no CRTs as the space we use cannot fit them)
desktops (can be on the lower end of systems and the smaller the form factor the better)
gigabit switches and wireless AP
mice/keyboards (preferably wired
ethernet cords/spools
any old but still relevant IT books focusing on Linux, programming, networking, etc..
When the time comes to get everything set up and wired a helping hand or two would also be appreciated. (est. end of Aug)

We also just launched an online fundraising campaign, if anyone could chuck in a couple bucks. Every dollar helps!

Thank you for any contribution. It’s a great school and we want to be around another 50 years.
