We get Internet access through SSU, so I doubt that anyone would have use 
for modems.  Ethernet cards sound good, though.  By any chance, would you 
have any MCA ethernet cards (for old IBM PS/2 systems)?  Any PCI or ISA 
ethernet cards would also be valuable, of course.  Sound cards are also 
good; I don't know anyone at the school who has ever used a computer that 
couldn't make more noise than simple beeps.  Is the voodoo1 card PCI or AGP? 
  If it's PCI, it should work with everything we've got.  If it's AGP, it 
might work with a few things.  IDE cables would also be helpful; I always 
seem to need a spare IDE cable when I least expect to.

I can't afford even a $150 computer, but it sounds good enough that I might 
find someone who would be willing and able to buy it.

I have three SCSI cards on hand: two Adaptec ISA cards, and one mysteroius 
VESA card.  Both ISA's appear to be 50-pin; would they work with your CD 
burners?  If so, I'm sure that I could find two people who would want them.
