I have a formica table that I can donate, and some computer bits lying around.  
I never got around to getting rid of them on e-day.

I have a laptop or two lying around that don't work that we could take apart 
as demonstration things.

What about the idea of a library?  I have a number of technical books that are 
not entirely current, but may still be of interest to some people.  At a bare 
minimum they could be monitor stands :)
 
I don't have any tools... well maybe a circular saw I bought and used once.

I'm happy to pay $20 a month for the space.  I think it'd be awesome.
