Free Geek - Helping The Needy Get Nerdy

Free Geek has to be the best technology non-profit that I have stumbled across in a long time.  Not only do they work with volunteers to recycle old computers, but they're actively involved in building new computers that are for sale at a very cheap price.

A unique part of their operation is that the volunteers are rewarded with rebuilt computers themselves for contributing their time.  I'm sure this goes miles to keep volunteers coming back and ensuring they contribute a desired amount of time.

Brilliant!

Side note: I discovered Free Geek with the help of Microsoft's new 10 service.  You can take a quick video tour of Free Geek on 10, worth your time.
