What to do with old pc's from work??

Over Clocker · 20 Feb 2006 at 20:58

Hi guys,

We have about 25x 17" working CRT monitors and about 15x Celeron 900 PC systems at work which are obviously no longer used.

Any ideas on what we could do with them?
I was thinking of wiping the drives and giving them to staff.

Other ideas are giving them to a charity, or towing them behind a minibus and seeing how easily they break

Think i'm gonna offer them to Staff.

I'm an IT manager in a school and we wouldn't want them. All P4 here!

Will stress that they come with NO software and NO support.

Cheers,

cba to ebay, package and courier pcs and monitors tbh. More hassle than it will be worth.

As a fellow IT Manager, please do not give them to the staff. No matter how much you tell them they will expect support, bootleg software et al.

Especially seeing as they are teachers!

Bin them, bin them quickly or do what I did with 15 Celeron 700s and give them to primary schools.

Nah it will be fine, they can expect what they want, but once i've said something, they won't usually come back. At the end of the day, if they want a pc with software, i'll tell them its not for them. If i don't get takers, i'll get a charity to pick up the whole load.

Primary schools around here won't want em, they are getting newer IT stuff in now.
