Good advice - but DO NOT
*DO NOT*
do what puki said and bury it in a garden!!!
Especially if any of the above is wrong with it, toxic chemicals will seep into the ground over time. I'm pretty sure it's illegal.
If you want to get rid of the system, I've heard of several companies that will recycle it for you, usually for free. But that's a waste of good computer equipment. It may only need a new power supply, mobo, or cpu. If so, you could get it working for $50-$100. And one can never have too many spare pcs around!
If you can't get it working, you can always sell the components on eBay as "slightly used". :-)
