See what your old kit could do...

Tony Roberts (left), CEO and founder of Computer Aid International, cuts the ribbon on a shipment of PCs delivered to Kenya and hands over the first piece of kit to a pupil at Starehe Boys' Centre.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony in Nairobi was watched by a group of visitors from the IT industry in the UK, who were in Kenya to take part in a 400km fundraising bike ride across the country. The group had raised enough money to put complete computer suites in 30 Kenyan schools. Among the riders were three from CNET Networks UK who raised more than £16,000 for Computer Aid International.
Computer Aid's Kenyan partner, Computers For Schools Kenya (CFSK), receives thousands of PCs, servers and monitors from organisations both in Kenya and abroad - including Computer Aid .
These typically come from companies that are upgrading their own PCs and decide they want their old machines recycled responsibly.
