This thread is for anyone who either wants to get rid of an old PC (Computers) or "bits" and rather than just "dump" it - and is happy to give it away to a good home.

Also anyone who wants to give a PC etc a good home, or knows someone who has the space and would be happy to collect, please post here.

Just flicking through the threads and saw this one, and reminded me of an email I got a few weeks back. Try this link to find out about an organisation where you can donate a PC to a developing country.

I have no experience of them and this is not a recommendation, just a pointer for those that are interested.

In my own firm, I would agree with previous posts that we as businesses are put off donating old PC's to good causes because of the hassle of clearing data, (properly rather than just simple formatting) + we tend to run them into the ground and because we live with the individual foibles, (a bit like a car!), I would feel a bit guilty of giving a knackered PC or the bits to someone else, though I suppose something is better than nothing.

Anyway, have a good christmas everyone.
