You can see if some other geek wants your junk^H^H^H^Hhigh quality SGI system :-)
Freecycle.org and Craiglist might find people that are interested. To be fair, most of us geeks use stuff beyond the cycle. I don't think many on Craiglist would be interested in an SGI and I'd fear I'd get far too many questions about installing Office. Depending on the equipment, eBay. I think if I offered the SGI for $0 + shipping, I wouldn't get offers :-( If you buy a computer from Apple, you can get a coupon to ship a monitor and cpu to their recycling for free. I'm looking for places too.
