available to a charity or other non-profit organization, all they have to do is pay the shipping, and give me a receipt. shipping would be approx $35-$40.

here are the full specs

31986754-L.jpg

i've added 1gb ram so the total is 1.5gb
i've added an nvidia geforce fx5200 graphics card

win xp home, service pack 2 installed.
photoshop elements, and a bunch of pre-installed sony software (sony's video, photo, audio editing stuff)

the machine is in 100% working order, well-cared for etc. there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. perhaps you know of a worthy group that could use this machine?

to be clear: no monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers etc included. only the computer and powercord.

    WOW!

    To be clear: are you looking for a worthy private party who needs a machine, but can not afford one --or a non-profit organization that can provide the proper papers upon donation (receipt, tax documents)?

    I certainly know of a person (my cousin), who is desperately wanting to get into digital photography, but the lack of a computer (and the means to obtain oine) has slowed him considerably...

    Let me know if that doesnt work.....might be a bit of an overqualified computer for a dog rescue foundation. ne_nau.gif

    If you gave it to my high school it would guaranteed be used for photo editing. thumb.gif

    I work for a non-profit organization and we need donations ALL the time. We share 2 windows computers between 8 Case Managers.

    http://www.boyshaven.org is our site (yes...VERY badly named website. I have tried and tried to convince them to add a - between boys and haven but the guys in finance are dolts! headscratch.gif )

    So..if anyone else has a computer to donate, let me know! :)

    John, tell them as a webdesigner I have a feeling that prolly 25% of the traffic to that site is people looking for porn cause of the address. Not the kinda thing you want a a charity associated with.
