If this is the route you want to take, I've also got a drawer full of
broken PC parts (many donated by LUG members, thanks people!) that I use
for schools visits - they can add cards, drives etc to an old
motherboard to see how it goes together, without the worry of zapping
working kit. 

But who _is_ our target audience? Surely anyone prepared to upgrade
their hardware is already knowledgeable about available OSs?

Don't we need to reach all those people who have a PC that's OK for
their needs, but that won't run Vista or Win7? They are at risk now XP
isn't supported, but probably don't know there's an alternative.
