I was going to ask about where people are frequenting
to find treasure.
Where I am now, most of the Salvation Army/Goodwill thrifts have big "NO
COMPUTERS!!!" signs out front so they won't even take them in just to toss
them.
One of the best places for old computers are the smaller local, regional
or for-profit chain thrift stores. Look in the phone book under "thrift
stores" (of all things), write down all the addresses, plug them into
Mapquest, work out an optimized route, and pick one Saturday to hit them
all.

Computers":
