Who buys computers for parts?

[Tyranna 10]

stuff even more newer than that is often given away on freecycle, i got rid of loads of stuff on there

 

ACCESS SPACE, at No. 2, Sidney Street, opposite the Rutland Arms Pub, will take computers like that off your hands for free, PLUS (And this is where the good bit comes) you can learn to build your own PC from the numerous other out of date parts that are donated to them; in effect you would be able to swop your old clapped out machine for a still secondhand one, but one with very much enhanced/updated specs, complete with a substantial package of software installed. The only catch is that you must learn how to assembe it yourself and how to use the software provided, which is LINUX, not Windows-based, although having said that, a lot of Windows files and programs can be run on a Linux machine...

Thanks for the suggestions. I may just hold onto it until it breaks and then donate it to a place like the above

if it aint worth owt but it still works and browses the net then give it away as there maybe loads of people that would love a pc but cant really aford to buy one.

There used to be a company based in what used to be high green school who recycled/refurbished old PC's. Not sure if they are still there or would be interested in your PC.

 

They certainly are still there. Google "CoSY Computers" (was short for "Computers for South Yorkshire"). It's a not-for-profit social enterprise. Some good deals on price, excellent support & free training for unemployed.
