Used Computer EquipmentWorld Computer Exchange seeks working computer equipment to be shipped to schools, libraries, and community centers in developing countries. Computers must be:
* Pentium 3 and above working desktop & laptop computers It is okay if the computer is a Celeron or AMD as long as it is 450 MHz or above.
* Macs: Sorry we only accept working G3 and G4 laptops only.
* 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).
Storage Space NeededThe local Boston chapter of World Computer Exchange needs a secure space about the size of a garage with available electricity. The space will be used for computer donation drop-offs when volunteers are present and then testing and storing of the equipment.
World Computer Exchange works to bridge the digital divide for the world's poorest youth by collecting donated, working computers and shipping them overseas to schools, orphanages, and libraries. While giving these computers new lives, it also helps the environment by keeping computers out of landfills. Taking apart an old computer and manufacturing a new one makes 25 times the carbon footprint. WCE is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization.
