PRObE will probably get a chunk of it, but they also have power limitations. Basically every piece of the machine has already been given to some researcher or another for some purpose -- there's a bit of a waiting list at the moment.
The hard drives will probably be sent to a military base to be melted down, I don't think they risk shredding them nowadays. The hardware that doesn't store data will probably be kept intact for quite some time.
Since Roadrunner takes up about 1/3 of the Metropolis datacenter, getting rid of it leaves some room for the 2015 "Trinity" machine (assuming LANL hosts it).
