I've a desktop computer, new components a few years behind the bleeding
hardware edges, that I'd like to donate to a family with kids who need a
computer. It needs a monitor, keyboard, and pointy device. Probably has
Slackware-14.2/x86_64 on it to test that it booted properly.

Hardware configuration is:
Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth 990FX, supports USB 3.0, SATA drives
CPU: AMD FX-8150, 8-core/16-threads, with heat sink and fan
Memory: 16G G.Skil Sniper Series DDR3/1600 (PC3 1250)
Video card: Asus Radeon with 256M Video RAM
Optical drive: HP DVD read-write
Power supply: 330W
Storage: Seagage 2T hard drive

I'm looking for suggestions on finding a family that could make use of this
and have no idea where to start other than here.
