The closest thing to Freegeek in Europe are probably thrift shops. They occasionally get PC stuff and other electronics and you can get them for cheap. Since they don't know much (if it at all anything) about this stuff, you can often get the stuff for dirt cheap. Keep in mind they pretty much never test their stuff and return policies are rare: it's often a you get what you buy policy.

What about volunteering?

Many thrift stores are looking for volunteers, as this is how (most) are kept running. You should inform about the requirements and benefits of volunteering there (one benefit is that you will be one of the first hands on with the stuff so you have the highest chance of scoring)
