Put up a notice similar to this one on your local CraigsList. ... Go to businesses in your area that use lots of computers and ask them if they can donate any old equipment ...

    I'll second jZed's suggestion to check businesses in your area. I work for a huge financial institution, and they have minimum specs for machines, and periodically surplus the below spec equipment. They might also surplus them once they're fully depreciated (I wouldn't know about that). Anyway, we recently let go a mess of 1GHz Celeron boxes.
