Same here, we give them to a local High School for their web design/tech class to dismantle as part of their final exam.

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.

Technology requirements may be skyrocketing, but the usefulness of ancient hardware is dropping faster than a rock. In a lot of situations anything that's not capable of reasonably running XP or 2003 is useless. If you do give it to a school... make sure you give them the hard drives!
