PC Refurbishment Program

When available, Field Support replaces older legacy computers with refurbished University Surplus PCs* for $60 each to requesting campus departments. These requests are filled as surplus PCs become available for refurbishing, so there is no guarantee of immediate replacement.

* Usually P-4 2.0 Ghz or higher with a minimum of 256-MB memory and Windows XP operating system
