WTD: Free Computer

by **lukey** » Thu Jul 15, 2010 9:25 pm

Hi guys,

I'm currently doing a university project where we will create an information system for a non-profit, community organisation. The organisation currently doesn't have a computer and we are looking to install a Ubuntu-system with open-source applications tailored to their needs so they can speed up a lot of their pen-and-paper processes.

If anyone has a computer they are willing to donate to a good cause, please let me know. If you have components - monitor, keyboard, mouse or just a tower that will be great too.

Please PM or post up here if you can help out. I'm located in Vic and can come pick up.

Thanks
Luke.

Shame you're in Vic, I have a pile of old computer stuff sitting around.

Lukey, I've got one sitting in my room collecting dust..

I think the specs are..

Intel 3.0Ghz Processor
512mb (or 1GB) of RAM
Some sort of ATi Graphics Card
DVD ROM + Burner(I think)
80GB HDD? Maybe more maybe less? lol

Let me know if you want it.
Darren.
