Hey all...As a little thing I've been planning to do to (hopefully) liberate unused computers I'm planning to do a computer recycling drive. Basically I'd be collecting working computers of all types. Afterwards I'd repair/upgrade the ones I can repair for cheap, sell them, and donate 50% of the net profit to charites such as the Love Jen Foundation (a charity located in South Flordia), local food banks, and the Salvation Army. The remaining money would be used to repair/upgrade the rest (except for the few computers I want to keep.) What do you think? Also, any tips?

Oh, I'm reformatting all the HDDs before I sell them too (And doing a government standard wipe [9 sweeps w/random bits]) I don't want to find out that the old IIsi a mom bought for her daughter was loaded with porno...nick -------------------------

Very good idea, geekwurkz. As well as that, it also keeps your confidential data from prying eyes. "**** em" - Jobs in regards to customers

Well, since most of the computer's will be donated, it's not only my confidential data that's being hidden. I've finally got it set to happen on the 19th. If I'm lucky, this will raise PAF for my small computer collection (16, 8 working) when they see what I'm doing with the donated systems.nick -------------------------
