Is it liquid cooled? Have you checked for leaks? Coolant leaks are a known problem and Apple generally takes care of the repairs or replacements..

Ill take it off your hands.
Does anyone know of a way to dispose of a dead Powermac G5, can i just take it to my council's tip and throw it?
The crappy thing doesn't turn on, just clicks and flashes the light on the front
Looked on the apple website, no recycle program.
You can list it on craigslist.
There might be someone who want to mod the case or looking for a part.

List it on ebay for 1$ and with no reserve. Be sure to mention it is defective, maybe some chaps will bid on it so you get a couple of bucks for it.

Plenty of Computer Recycle places in the UK HERE, and some will even pay you.
But it looks like 'NightwalkerUK' will have it from you, best to go to a good/useful home, imho...
Under EU directives, electronic waste should be recycled - looks like you've got it covered now, but this way is agood for giving kit a good one http://www.freecycle.org/
