available to a charity or other non-profit organization, all they have to do is pay the shipping, and give me a receipt. shipping would be approx $35-$40.

here are the full specs (http://www.epinions.com/pr-Desktops_Sony_VAIO_Digital_Studio_PCV_RX860_Deskto p_PCV_RX860/display_~full_specs)

i've added 1gb ram so the total is 1.5gb
i've added an nvidia geforce fx5200 graphics card

win xp home, service pack 2 installed.
photoshop elements, and a bunch of pre-installed sony software (sony's video, photo, audio editing stuff)

the machine is in 100% working order, well-cared for etc. there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. perhaps you know of a worthy group that could use this machine?

to be clear: no monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers etc included. only the computer and powercord.

WOW!

To be clear: are you looking for a worthy private party who needs a machine, but can not afford one --or a non-profit organization that can provide the proper papers upon donation (receipt, tax documents)?

I certainly know of a person (my cousin), who is desperately wanting to get into digital photography, but the lack of a computer (and the means to obtain oine) has slowed him considerably...

My private episcopal school would probably like it too for the photography department.....they never give the photography department much and the teacher (whom im good friends with) is always on the lookout for donations.:dunno

awesome. i'll give her a ring on monday - and work out the details. Let me know if that doesnt work.....might be a bit of an overqualified computer for a dog rescue foundation. :dunno

If you gave it to my high school it would guaranteed be used for photo editing. :thumb

ohhh man! I'm too late on this. :cry

I work for a non-profit organization and we need donations ALL the time. We share 2 windows computers between 8 Case Managers.

http://www.boyshaven.org is our site (yes...VERY badly named website. I have tried and tried to convince them to add a - between boys and haven but the guys in finance are dolts! :scratch )

So..if anyone else has a computer to donate, let me know! :)

John, tell them as a webdesigner I have a feeling that prolly 25% of the traffic to that site is people looking for porn cause of the address. Not the kinda thing you want a a charity associated with.
