Compuer parts needed, used or new

Hi everyone,  my name is Ron Herman and I am the administrator of a support domain with 7 support channels some established and some starting for cancer support, Lupus, chronicpain, widowed, and several others you can look at on http://www.central supportgroups.com  I have done business with newegg for many years.

I am 53 years old medically retired.  I am a self trained pc specialist.  I build new for family and friends with anything I make going into the support groups.  Also we have a computer donation program.  We donate to Patients so they can get to online support groups and message boards, we donate to single moms with kids in school, college students, high school students, elderly people, just about anyone that cannot afford one that really should have one.  We donated 27 last year and 25 the year before.

We just received 12 Dell 8100 machines with no hard drives or operating systems, and also 1 server with no hard drives, and 6 custom machines with no hard drives and some needeing boards which I fortunately do have a few of.  Right now we are hurting on 40 gig and above hard drives, video cards, laptop hard drives 40 gig ide type, pc3200 memory, athlon cpu socket A 2400 and up, pc-133 memory.  We also need 8 compies of windows xp home.  Most of the machines that we just got fortunately hae software with them.

If anyone out there would like to be a sponsor or help us out a bit, please let me know. We are not big hitters that give away hundreds of new a year but the ones who receive a computer are sure happy and usually have no other way of getting one.  We are not a tax write-off.  Just people helping people.  We survive and keep the groups going with the help of some really good sponsors, but it does take a lot to do all of this and we at this time really do not have enough help for our pc donation program.  We could do so much more if we could get the equipment.

Anyways thats a bit about me and what I do, I am married with three kids, one in college, one just out of the navy and a 14 year old daughter in high school.

If you are formally organized as a 501(c)(3) corporation, you may find some help at www.TechSoup.org.  You have to jump through a lot of hoops to be fully supported by them, but, again, if you are legally qualified, it is worth the bother.

I wish you well!

Are you interested in older computers?  I have a Dell Dimension XPS R450 that I have just reformatted and reloaded Win98 with all updates and Windows Office Small Business 97, including Publisher and Powerpoint.

Ron,

When I read your blog, I saw myself.  I'm 61, disabled, and a self professed geek. I have a bunch of video cards, memory, zip drives etc. that I've been waiting for the right opportunity to give it away.  If you could give me a contact to get in touch with, I'd be happy to pack-up the stuff, and forward it your way.
