There is a recycling electronics event going on near me.

I am very much in need of an extra box to slap a server distro on.

Do you think people who are going to recycle their old computer would give it to me instead if I asked?

I'm not sure what a person's reaction would be.

I would give away my old computers if somebody asked.

Last time I took some stuff to the recyclers, there was some good stuff there that I would have taken to tinker around with but I was afraid to ask.

I'm sure the person getting rid of it wouldn't care, but I think that the recyclers might. Maybe, they re-sell some of them? I'm sure they don't want a bunch of people hanging out all day picking through the goods either.

Don't you have Craigslist where you are?

Anyway, it can't hurt to ask.:)
