I'm also thinking about hardware.  I think I can borrow computers from 
friends and their work places, but that it might be useful to borrow brand 
new LCD screens from local computer shops.

The shops each have a few nice, very large LCD screens in their sales area 
and tend to close early (or completely) on Saturday.  So it would be an 
easy way for them to get publicity if they were to loan a screen or two 
for that day.  No changes would be needed with screens.

I'll have to find some contacts at the shops and see what they think of 
it.  I guess each screen would have a business card on it saying which 
company is loaning it out and contact information for the business.

I think the profit on the screens and peripherals may be higher for the 
shops than for the computers.  If people upgrade their computr with F/OSS 
software or systems, that means more money to spend on 'smaller' purchases 
like screens.
