Take These Broken Things
ThinkGeek has a blog post up mentioning they are considering donating defective electronics to people and groups interested in taking them. The intended purpose is to use the items to teach or build cool things. Right now there is a form to just take info on those possibly interested but they mention FIRST by name so we're definitely their intended audience.
