You could donate thecomputer to cds computers , who is a Microsoft authorized refurbisher. So all those computers could be donated to non profits, churches,and family's that could use them . You can contact them at (336)263-3264. Don't just throw them out put them to good use

Boot and nuke is a great option, but sometimes destroying the hard drive is the best option.

Just format the hard drive, then put a magnet on it.

Donate it for some poor person to pay 125 bucks for it at Goodwill

yea that's about what they go for at GoodWill

better to donate it to some place like the mission store where it will be priced fairly.
