Based on the last "clearance sale" we had, PLUG is the right place :).

OTOH, if you want tax deductable and all that, there are a couple of
places in town that accept hw for NPOs. They problably wouldn't be
interested in anything smaller/older than 486.

OTOH (yes, Hans has many hands :), if someone's willing to search through
what will be useful to the EDU project, I'd be willing to store the stuff
at my place for a little while. I get to keep the mainframe, though. I'll
need the liquid cooling when I get an Itanium...
