Old cheap PC's

[Tom_P]

Hi all,

 

Does anyone know where i can get really cheap (Under £100) all in one PC's?

 

We have been using an old batch of PC's (Intel pentium dual core) as kiosk stations running chrome. These get used by students with severe SEN and get broken quite frequently. Which is why I'm looking for something as cheap as possible.

 

All our suppliers, and places ive looked online only have newer/refurbished stock. The cheapest ive found is around £250 which wont be agreed by SLT, and rightly so. They are also over spec for our needs.

 

We reached out to local PC repair shops for any old stock but they wanted crazy prices.. £950 for 4 Acer, Intel pentium dual core, 4gb, 320gb HDD (Orignally £1000 but they knocked off £50 as one didnt have a HDD).. We are also unable to use ebay.

 

Thanks,

Tom.

Have you spoken to ICTDirect, to see if Dave has anything hidden up his sleve? Probably a bit low spec for most of the stuff they have, but they may well have something/a way to find something?

We have recycled desktops with them, so they should be able to point you in the direction of the companies they work with.

 

My account manager is David Boyd, and he is usually quite helpful.

How many are you after?

I might have some old free PC's in the west mids area - but they aren't AIO.

My school have some old RM Ones that we are looking to get rid of soon (approx. 10-20). They have a 4th gen. Core i3, 8GB RAM and a 120GB SSD.

 

PM me if you're interested.

As many or as little as i can get. This is something that will be in consistent use.

Thank you, i appreciate the offer. We tried SFF PC's and monitors but found they're easier to throw across a room..

I have a 3 Lenovo AIO (non touch) devices

Also some iMacs - I think 2015 model - 8gb i3 - bit more robust for SEN with glass + aluminium. Could bootcamp?

North Worcestershire.

They are just taking up room so I'm sure we can let them go for a small donation.

Send me a PM if interested.

Where abouts are you? May have 3 or 4 Dell AIO devices currently in storage that will be going spare.

If you get the RM AIOs, unless the design has changed since I last had any dealings with them, they can also be bolted to the desk nice and easily, which is always an advantage if you are trying to prevent them being thrown.
