i have a pal, he builds computers for kids whos families can't afford them  

We are from all over the world as members and that topic needed a little more information for us to help Where are you ? Why do i ask because if you were in Ontario i could give you a couple of old computers i have that just need a tech to work on them But if they were posted and mailed to a far a way country it would cost a fortune Also be specific as to what he is looking for ? Also where are these families and is a computer something they could manage to maintain so many questions and so little info Sorry Good Luck

Business' usually upgrade stuff now and then, you could contact some local business' or technology company. Schools get new computers too, I don't know what they do with their old ones, but you could ask. Or you could just ask around your neighbors and friends to donate some old parts, most of them might have some old pc parts they are not likely to use.

That is great that he is trying to help the kids there. We have someone in Traverse City, Michigan that does the same thing. It is nice when you can find a source nearby so that it can be picked up, but it can cost a lot to ship the parts, especially if you aren't sure if he can even use what you have.
