    We keep getting them from dell, and don't need them. Running it past the boss that maybe we could give them away to a school or something, maybe to replace crt's or something. Have loads of new dell keyboards and mouses as well actually, only taking up space really. Mostly 15" screens. Probably have 6-12 of them.

    I'd say most schools (apart from newly built ones who would have up to date stuff) would jump at them. Especially primary schools.

    Our school only built 7 years ago who got about 80 computers at the time just got new ones over the summer, I'd say most school are fairly up to date, A charity on the other hand sounds like a good idea.

    I'm back again with another assortment of dell peripherals. About 60 black dell usb keyboards. A couple of dozen usb mice (think they are all optical).

    First dibs to poxyshamrock, as he missed out on it.

    Free to any school / charitable organisation. I don't want to see them on ebay!

    You could always give it to the local university ahem...

    Can I have USB mouse for my laptop?

    I will trade you a KitKat and a piece of my mind for it.

    In case anyone is curious, I didn't nick them from dell! I install computers all over the place. No keyboards / mice required for my installs. Dell don't sell without them.

    No screens this time I'm afraid (no more free screens from dell).

    I'd rather not be handing them out piecemeal to people. And I don't know a lot about third level colleges, but I think they would be better funded then secondary schools.
