We're able to expand our events and make them more accessable to more people through the donation of your old ICT equipment! Computers and displays may be used for:
- Upgrading into gaming PCs to be lent to participants at events.
- Running displays advertising our partnered charities or sponsors.
- Running file or game servers at events.
- Spare parts to support and maintain our existing fleet of equipment.
For any equipment we collect we will ensure that all memory is wiped clean including a complete reformat of any included hard drives or SSDs and remove all asset tagging or otherwise identifying information.
If the equipment is found suitable for use at our events it will be cleaned and refurbished for use and/or parted out for use in other devices. If we cannot use the equipment it will instead be disposed of in line with local laws and recycled where possible.
We can collect:
- Desktop PCs (either working or for spare parts)
- Laptops (must be working and in good condition)
- Monitors (must be working and in good condition)
- Power cables
- Display cables, especially HDMI and Display Port
- Keyboards and mice
- Network cables
- Network switches and general network infrastructure
Please note The Big LAN, under Titus Aus Inc, may opt to not take equipment in the first instance if we determine it cannot be used for any of our purposes, however as part of our ongoing commitment to community engagement we endeavour to always reuse and recycle equipment amongst participants and interested parties rather than disposal.
