What do people do with stolen computers?

Last week my house was broken into. The robbers made off with
Epson HD projector
Dell desktop
Toshiba Laptop
Dell laptop
several external hard drives
Wii
PS3
Free Linux dist. cd that came with a magazine

They did not, however, take a docking station still in the box, esata cord still in packaging, an esata adapter still in packaging, TV tuner still in packaging, HD webcam which would be worth more than the hard drives.

..mainly they seemed after hard drives which seemed odd to me considering this breakin did not come with a love note from the FBI or anything else like that.

I've been checking Craigslist and ebay, but what other places do people go to sell stolen computers hard drives? The only crimes in my area seem to involve computers and computer accessories and these people seemed to look for particular items since they took my Dell D620 but not my ancient D600. Charlotte Police couldn't be bothered in the slightest to help us.
