Why didn't you just donate it to the Salvation Army? Surely they could have made good use of it, and you could have taken the tax credit.

DOHHHHHH You just had to get that one in!!!!!!!

No need to imply pake, I just didn't think to ask. We donate plenty to Goodwill but they've turned me away on computer equipment before, and they used to have a policy statement to that effect. It looks like Salvation Army might take computer equipment (http://www.satruck.com/donation-value-guide). Does anyone know specifically whether the local Salvation Army will take a donated monitor or a laptop?

The reason I'm asking is because we have an old Dell Latitude D505 to get rid of:

Intel Pentium M, 1.4 MHz, 1 GB RAM, WinXP, 15" monitor. The DVD drive seems to be going bad (or needs to have its laser aligned) but the hard drive is only a couple years old. I was ready to give it to one of our local schools for them to use as a doorstop in their classroom but Salvation Army works too.

Try craigslist it'll sell plus there's always someone there willing to take old or broken computers for free.
