We need to source some IT equipment for our local Samaritans.

Does anyone know of any source for free or cheap kit?

We also need a copy of Windows 98 SE (or the upgrade) if anyone has one they would like to donate.

Thanks.

    Have you ever herd of Freecycle?

    http://www.freecycle.org/display.php?region=United%20Kingdom

    I'm a member of the new Plymouth group among others. IT stuff is often advertised here for the taking, along with a load of other stuff you may be able to use.

    Good luck.

    There's a sticky over on the main small biz & charities board which has a little bit of info about IT kit, but I can't vouch for its up-to-date ness.

    Otherwise freecycle is a good place to look. Or putting an appeal in your local paper.
