Since the unit is not 100% functional, I really wouldn't expect any charity to pay for it. If you are just trying to get rid of it, you might see if anyone would pay for shipping it to them. You could also sell it for parts on craigslist or something. Personally, I could use something like this for it's logic board to repair my own G5.

As old as it is and since it's not working, I would just drop it off at Goodwill and get a receipt for it. You can then determine its value (for parts) and use that for a charitable contribution deduction on your 2011 taxes. Of course that means itemizing deductions rather than taking a standard deduction.

Ahh...that's different...and maybe why putting too much info in the thread title (and not the post) is not such a good thing.;)

I would buy it (in it's current condition) for $50...so I'd say $50 bucks.

HTH,

Same here, $50 seems reasonable.

Where are you at? It would also depend on what charity. (Goodwill allows returns, etc.) Where I am at working G3 and G4 towers sell at the local Stepping Stones (thrift store) for $20.
