What to do with old computer?

[Inspector Jihad]

Its pretty old and the specs are weak. What could I do with it...I see that newegg buys old computers...or i could give it to charity but I do not know any in my area, but I'm sure there are some.

Turn it into a Windows 95 machine and play old DOS games on it.

Donate it to a church or a school? I also remember some sort of program where you could send old pc parts to soldiers in Iraq.

If you really don't have anything you want to do with it, donating it is probably the best option. Google computer recyclers/refurbishers and look around for ones in your area. Most of the places that take them end up putting them in schools or other similar places and you can get a tax deduction/write off for it.

Contact any local church.
They can either use it or find a family that could.

Make sure that you clean it of any personal items.

Smoothwall it or smash it
