mdlbear...you probably have a few boat-anchors sitting around. Office Depot is running a recycling program: now through Labor Day, you can bring in one item per day to be recycled. That includes computers, printers, monitors, and TVs (computer+monitor+keyboard+mouse counts as one item). Not, unfortunately, VCRs or UPSs. So far I've taken in a dead CPU and a monitor; there's another CPU+monitor+keyboard scheduled for tomorrow.
Somehow I don't think they'll take any of the real antiques, like the Zilog Z80 systems or the ADM3 terminal (in original box).
In other news, the 160GB disk works just fine under Linux, even in a comparatively ancient box (though it was the newest of the K6's, and I haven't tried it in anything older yet). You can't boot from it, of course; even systems as new as 2 years old, like the one on my desk at work, hang in the BIOS if you don't tell them to skip the big disk.
