around here, people give away old computers through a Freecycle network. some work, some don't. but if the computer's power supply is ok, you have a 5v and 12v power source. the size could be a problem. if you are already stripping a computer for fans, then consider keeping the power supply and hooking fans to it. the wire to the fans doesn't need to be very heavy, unless you run one line from the power supply to where the fans are being used and then running all the fans from this one line. then maybe 16 gauge or 14 gauge wire would help. i always keep power supplies and fans when i strip a computer that isn't worth fixing. there are power dividers that can split the output from one power supply lead to two drives or whatever and it wouldn't be hard to come up with the connectors to match the connectors on the power supply.
