Local Colleges might also be a good source. I know my school has a basement room with decades of technology that is mostly worthless, but because of bearucratic inertia the've never been sold. Some of it is fairly recent, certainly good enough to do what you want to do (Pentium II 266 Mhz, 5 GB HDs, 128 mb RAM).
Amother thought. Five year old computers should be able to do what you want them to do, but it sounds like yours are in such disrepair that they are basically useless. If you can't get someone to donate computers, maybe you can get someone to donate techsupport to get them in working condition.
