Has anyone had any success with regards to selling their old PC's? I have one at the moment complete with CRT monitor, mouse and keyboard, its taking up space and I have been instructed that it must go.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

    There's a charity in Belfast, just off the Westlink, that wipes the hard disk and sends pc's abroad to schools etc. I'll look up the info in my break as I can't find it just now.

    Edit: here's the web address . You just turn up & drop off your old PC or printer. Donations are welcome but not essential.

    (I know you were looking to sell your old PC but we found it difficult to sell ours & at least this way your personal info is safely deleted etc and you're helping out someone else :D)

    With the introduction of the PSNI, most of them have been retired off with big pensions...
