We recently received a bunch of stuff from an unnamed source who likes rabbits. Here is a rundown:
2 CPUs (a decent Compaq and an older one)
1 Microwave
1 gevalia coffee maker
1 bottle of hand soap
1 (empty) ammo box
1 project box
1 roll of paper towels
1 box of rubber gloves
1 hp color inkjet printer
1 alarm control panel and central unit
1 wireless motion sensor
2 VCRs (good for parts)
1 small tank of propane
1 Wall mounted 17″ LCD
2 Big rechargeable 12 volt batteries
2 small rechargeable batteries
1 Ikea shelf with drawers
1 dish drying rack
1 box of coffee filters
1 older mac book (screen needs work, may be good for parts or a simple repair)
1 laptop with screen reversed as a tablet, said to work, will try it out.
1 voip router
1 wrtg54g wireless router (this is our current repeater with dd-wrt works great)
1 4 port netgear switch
1 keyboard

Our first and second harbor freight shipments came in (top right picture), we got:
1 7-1/4 circular saw with laser
1 oil-less 18 gauge nailer / stapler
1 20pc air compressor accessory kit
2 50pc pegboard hook kit
7 socket holder rails
1 8″ needle nose plier
1 hand orbital sander
1 5-3/4 needle nose plier
1 5,000 pack of 2″ 18gauge brads
1 micro flush cutter
1 2.5″ table vise with swivel (on back order

We also ordered some Arduinos, one of which will serve as our RFID door authentication. We got a chance to look at RFID types during the homebrew night (pictured in center).

We painted on some whiteboards so we have tons of room for getting our ideas out during meetings / classes.

We are currently painting the floor and baseboards (sneak peak on top left of image).
