The rural county I live in told me the last time I had server or desktops to donate that unless they were less than a year old they were not interested. Lucky for me the local community college loved the donation. They teach A+ and other computer classes so machines the students can take apart and put together and make work on any OS works for them. If they don't work then they still enjoy them.
