Equipment wish list |
|
Pentium 3 and above working desktop & laptop computers (see below if you do not know how to tell what level computer yours is) It is okay if the computer is a Celeron or AMD of comparable MHz as long as it is 450 MHz or above.
Monitors: working color monitors that are less than 9 years old and have a built in autoswitch for the voltage (these will say something like "Power: 110/220 volts" on the back of the monitor). Amost all monitors less than 9 years old have this ~ except for one brand of NEC monitors. If we are picking-up your monitors without computers ~ we charge $5 per monitor. For above: working keyboards, mice, cables, and power cords Printers: working dot matrix, laser, and inkjet printers with cartridges and cables and power adaptors (please tape them onto the printer) Network gear: working network switches, routers, and hubs, EtherNet cards and cable Peripherals: working scanners (with cable, power adaptor, and software if you have it taped on), digital cameras, microphones, earphones, external CD ROMs, external modems, LCD projectors, zip and jazz drives, and UPSes (Uninterrupted Power Supply) Software: educational, non-violent, appropriate Parts: working internal modems, working extra hard drives, working CD ROM drives Non-qualifying Equipment: If you have a computer or equipment that is not on this wish list and you cannot find another home for it, please dispose of it properly rather than place it in the trash. Many municipalities now have recycling programs for old equipment that recovers valuable metals keeps the many toxic metals and other parts out of landfills. There is often a small charge, $5, for this proper disposal. Contact your local recycling coordinator or Department of Public Works for more information. To tell the Pentium level of your computer: Usually there is a small sticker on the right front toward the bottom of the face of your computer that says Pentium II or Pentium III or Pentium 4. The sticker might also say that it is a Celeron or AMD processor inside. If the sticker is not there it usually means that you have a clone computer rather than one manufactured by one of the major companies. If you turn on your computer - just before it goes into windows - it wil lsay if it is a PIII or P4. We take celeron equivalents of PIIIs and above (450 MHz or above). Or you can go to your desktop screen and right click on the icon called "my computer" and it will describe your computer there. You can also look right on the computer chip - but the two above ways should be easier and faster.
