Hang on to it or give it to another geek. Donation sounds nice but typically places you would think that need pc parts (church, school, non-for-profit) don't have the tech skills to manage a pc junk yard. They usually need a complete system that can moderately use current apps.
I do volunteer work as a tech for a couple of places and they always get boxes of dot matrix printers and broken P100 250mb hd pcs. I usually end up scraping most of the stuff and config a game system for the facilities kindergarten room.
Plus, tax write-off is only a percentage of the CURRENT value. What is that system really worth?
Give the stuff to an interested kid who wants to blow up his first pc. That serves the computer world much better.
