Suggestions of what I can do with excess computer stuff

[spanky]

i have a lot of excess pc stuff that i need to get rid of. at first i wanted to sell them, but i dont think i will get much for them. plus even if i could sell them, i am short on time, so i think i will have to chuck them out. that would seem like a waste. i have a few 15", 17", and 19" monitors, some cases, and probably some other stuff i don't remember off the top of my head. can i donate this stuff? if so... to whom? would they come to my house to pick it up or do i have to bring it to them?

Sorry to say that I am just scrapping out my old stuff. Thrift shops won't take anything related to computers here, not even storage cases. I would ship them to people but the shipping costs exceed the value of the items.

no can do... i want to get rid of the stuff. i dont have a use for it, nor do my parents want it sitting around in their garage. i was wondering if there might be some charities that may take up this stuff.

Many churches can utilize the equipment or find some family that could utilize working equipment.

Most donation centers no longer accept CRT monitors, so I imagine you'll have a tough time getting rid of them that easily.

Burn them! I'll be blasting an old Pentium 2 with ~100 V at December 31st .
