How it works
Although our computers were once discarded by their previous owners, our team refurbishes them with added memory, drives and software. These rebuilt PCs are still perfectly suitable for most home, school, and office applications. At this time, we are providing computers with 8GB of RAM or higher, minimum 250GB HDD, with a DVD-ROM drive, 17″ monitor or better, mouse, keyboard, and all necessary cables and connectors. Our refurbished systems all run Xubuntu operating system.
To apply for one or more computers, please complete an application – and then either email, fax, mail, or bring us the completed form in person to one of our locations.
What happens next
Once your application is approved, you will be added to our wait list. Due to high demand, our current wait times are typically 1-3 months. To find out where you are on the waiting list, please call Janny at 510 367-1717 on Saturdays between 10am – 4pm. When your name moves to the top of the list, we will contact you with the details and instructions.
