Call out for computer parts

Hey guys

I'm on call out time again.

To keep the computers working in Malindi, we have to continually maintain them. Due to the fact that they are not new in the first place, that they are operating in extreme conditions with heat, humidity & dust and the transport it took to get them to their new location in schools in Kenya, the computers tend to fall into varying states of disrepair very quickly.

We have managed to address this issue some what by taking on a team of local maintenance and training assistants. They work very hard keeping the school systems running, but continually the main parts of the computer fail, and can't be repaired.
Conveniently what we consider rubbish or old parts for computers in Ireland, are exactly what we will use in Kenya. So all we've got to do is get them to a place where they will be used!

The following is a list of what we need, please check if you have any of these parts lying around, or the computer savvy people in your life might have (including your work place), and we'll see how I can possibly collect them. I'll be shipping out a pallet at the end of August which I'll be able to put them into.

Computer parts needed

Hard Drives
Internal 3.5" HHDs
Any size 10Gb and up



RAM
Internal memory for making the machines operate faster, an easy upgrade!
Again, any size and type, we have such a range of makes and ages, we need every type. These chips are small, so we are looking for hundreds.



CPUs
We are actually going to send out full computers in this shipment too, so if you have any that are not being used, are minimum P4 and less than 6 years old please pass them on.

Flat Screen Monitor
Sounds posh, but now a 15" flat screen monitor is considered useless here.
These are great for sending out because they are so much smaller and lighter than they're conventional CRT monitor partner




It would be great if you could help me with any of this call out.
Please pass this onto anyone you know in Ireland who might have access to these parts.
What we consider rubbish and outdated can be used for years at our centre and in the schools we help.

Thanks for your help.
