Be careful though, some people will try to donate ancient stuff and take the discount, or strip the machine of everything but the mother board and power supply. In that case all you get is a disposal problem, as the power supply is considered hazardous waste because it contains a capacitator (sp). It's worth going for, but be careful to ask exactly what they are donating (get specs, hard drive, ram, monitor, mouse, keyboard) Good luck, Adele Markert
