That can vary a bit according to what we already have on hand
ready to refurbish... typically, a 1.2 GHz Pentium 4 with 384
megabytes of RAM is at about the dividing line these days.
Printers we don't normally take, too often they have something a
little wrong that we aren't prepared to fix, or require expensive
cartridges.
We don't have much space or demand for CRTs; I normally would
gladly accept a small number of them if they could be delivered
to the Ruggles Station area of Roxbury, but wouldn't try to
arrange a pick up (I don't have a car but can usually get a ride
to pick up more than 3 or 4 computers or flat panel monitors (15"
and up)). Thanks for your interest,
- S.

Hi Stephen, Is there an age limit to how old machines you
accept? I have some older machines that work but are quite
slow. Also, any use for older printers and CRT monitors?

Subject: Re: [Discuss] Computer donations
I assist several programs that make refurbished computers
available to needy families living in Boston area housing
developments. e.g., the Whittier Tenants Association and the
Castle Square Tenants Association. We'd gladly accept computers
of that nature, and we have never asked for subsequent
fiscal support though in a small number of instances we check
back to see if more computers have become available where that
seems welcome.
We accept computers with or without operating systems.

Greetings BLU members.
Does anyone have experience with Computer donations in the
Boston/Greater Boston area ?
We have some model year 2006-2007 systems (Pentium-D / Border of
Core2Duo era ) , that, may be available for
donation, the matter still needs to pass some ranks of approval, but I
want to check before I even offer .
1. Will such systems be of use ? ( or charities may say that
they're 'too-old' )
2 . I was told , by a well-knowing source, that donating computers,
may mean that -
you will be asked to support them later on, and if so, you must
grant support
- , that will be a deal breaker if cannot be avoided.
3. Any experience you can post back will be welcome.
Thank you.
