Randy,

Surplus Computers (formerly Software & Stuff) takes old computers.
They have periodic "sidewalk sale" type events and whatever doesn't
sell they recycle.  Someone else mentioned WeirdStuff; same kind of
thing.  They might not take it if it is obviously fried (did you let
tme smoke out?) though.

Recyclers typically charge $5-20 for items that are old and/or
unusable.  But if you can drop it off at a [Ss]urplus [Cc]omputer
store you won't have to pay anything.
