I fix up old computers I get at garage sales, trash or from people who don't need them when they upgrade and want files transferred. Clean the fans, mobo, case and its good to go. You can just format em, load XP, free office and take away a lot of admin rights for guests. Then donate it to a woman's shelter or other .org that needs them. I have had to use my own cash to pony up a keyboard or mouse or cat-5 cables here or there but its worth it.
Be careful, when you become that "free computer guy" you will find that people have a list of things for you to fix when you come back. Do only what your sanity enables.
I have learned not to look on the HDs, just format em right away and call it a day!!!!!
