I have a four step plan; offer it at a "fair" price on eBay or lists like
this one, then offer it again for a token amount to cover packing, offer it
free with a local pickup, take it to the scrapyard 6 cents/lb for breakage,
more for aluminum, copper, circuit boards etc.

Goodwill and most schools around SoCal have no interest in older systems
(non pentium 166 mmx and above). Exceptions exist, but Goodwill I know
dumps all older systems in bins that go directly to a scrapper at breakage
prices.
