Churches are good places for donating older PCs. They will know who can use one, even if it's just for word processing/email. Just be sure it's working properly and has all the disks and manuals. You don't want to give someone who doesn't know much, or anything, for that matter, about PCs a big problem.

Thats a good idea, but they arent full towers, nor do they have all components (missing are ram, hdd, cdrom, case... I have PSU but prefer to keep). Very good idea though, and quite noble, +1 for that.

I already have 3 home servers, which are the reason these ones are no longer in service... e6600, x2-4200+, and a 2700+ which isnt even really in use actually, its ready to be decomissioned soon too... this isnt to mention my 2 personal use computers, my wifes laptop, or the HTPC... its all too much at once, I used to run 11 computers here, and invested some money in higher performance equipment to decomission the lower-end units and save space and hydro (even though the landlord pays hydro, someone gets a break)
