If I had moved to Cornwall I could have helped you out with a drive (or two). My sister is de facto PC admin/fixer at her primary school and gets first dibs on stuff they are skipping. Recently I got a 1gig Celeron base unit and several hard drives ranging from 4 to 20gig in size. The Celeron unit runs Zenwalk and xfce and is perfectly usable.
So it might be worthwhile checking out the local schools to see if they are chucking out usable stuff. You could also check with you local council offices - ours recently threw out a load of stuff and I got a lovely big hi-res monitor.
