The Natural Science Center of Greensboro (where my father works) happily 
accepts donated computers and parts, and provides receipts as a 501-c 
non-profit.  You can have the added benefit of knowing that they're 
probably going to be used running Linux to power exhibits or other 
interesting behind-the-scenes systems at the NSC.
