    hi guys

    my boss asked me to dump a load of old dell optiplex 170L (7x) plus an old hp compaq m230dt, but i managed to fix all of them and plan to donate them all (with my boss's approval) to a school that teaches kids & adults with all sorts of disabilities ranging from autism, down syndrome, cerebral palsy, blindness, deafness, and many other forms of mental and physical disabilities.

    ive fixed all 8 pcs and have xp running on them but each of them only have 512mb ddr pc2700 ram on them.

    each pc is capable of taking 2gb ram (2x 1gb pc2700 or pc3200)

    also i need keyboards and mice (ps/2 or usb) and monitors (crt or lcd) and 40gb or better IDE hard disks if ye have any.

    i live in dublin and can collect.

    as many of ye are upgrading your pcs i would like to ask ye to donate your old pc parts that ye dont need that would work in these pcs. Would ye be so kind as to donate them to me so i can have these pcs ready to donate to the school in 2 weeks time?

    the school concerned is http://www.deltacentre.org/ based in carlow town. the computers will be used to run teaching software to help these kids learn how to do many things you and i take for granted such as basic math, speech, reading and spelling, typing and many other skills.

    best regards
