Could you donate it to a school?

if you're willing to give it away, i have had a lot of success with freecycle - it's a yahoo group that lists items that people need to get rid of so that people who need them can pick them up. there is a group for all different parts of sydney. when we moved house i got rid of a few things through it and everyone seemed so grateful for the things we gave away.

much better than it going to the dump!

i've never heard of freecycle before, but what a great idea! i might just do that with my old PC.. thanks :)

second the freecycle thing

Get your ex to buy it for more than it's worth so you can pay for an O.S. trip :)

tried and tested method?

almost all my exes work in the IT industry. i really doubt i could sucker them with a blatant raw deal :)

[verticat]

Yeah, I bought one for $2K when it wasn't worth it, it's a good thing I care about her :)

ComputerBank maybe: http://dan.cbsyd.org.au/

they recycle second-hand computers to give to charities and disadvantaged people.
