    If you just want to get rid of it I would be willing to take it off your hands for you.

    Thanks Romworks, it is important to remember there are some nasty things (for the environment) in PCs and they should be disposed of properly.

    that is true,main reason ive kept the heavy buggers so long...i used to work at a place that someone came around and collected them,but at the time i was gonna fix em up..same old story....too much junk,not enough time.
    one of the netservers still works fine,just old and slow like me. :?

    I just recently found out about FreeCycle.Org. Their main page describes it as follows:

    'The Freecycle Network™ is made up of many individual groups across the globe. It's a grassroots movement of people who are giving (& getting) stuff for free in their own towns. Each local group is run by a local volunteer moderator (them's good people). Membership is free. To sign up, find your community by clicking on the region on the right. It will generate an automatic e-mail which, when sent, will sign you up for your local group and send you a response with instructions on how it works. Or, go directly to the Web site for your local group by clicking on your community's link on the left. Can't find a group near you? You might want to consider starting one (click on "Start a Group" for instructions). Have fun!

    The Freecycle Network was started in May 2003 to promote waste reduction in Tucson's downtown and help save desert landscape from being taken over by landfills. The Network provides individuals and non-profits an electronic forum to "recycle" unwanted items. One person's trash can truly be another's treasure!'

    Our local FreeCycle organizations are Wake FreeCycle or JohnstonCounty FreeCycle

    Hope this helps!
