Looking for donations of computer parts this week

[Chuck]

The Creative Minds Arts Center is a community arts center located at 
3109 Troost in east Kansas City, Missouri. We run the Hip Hop Academy, 
an arts program for pre-teens and young teens. We host movies, concerts, 
plays, speakers, and art shows in our theater. The Crossroads Infoshop 
and Radical Bookstore is under our roof.

We have a room full of donated computers (around 20-25) that we are 
trying to turn into a community computer lab. A geek from the Bay Area 
is in town this week and is volunteering his time to get these computers 
working and networked. These computers were donated to the CMAC two 
years ago. They are mostly Compaqs using the first generation of Pentium 
chips.

We are planning to install Ubuntu on at least half of these computers. 
We are looking for CD-ROM drives, because most of these computers don't 
have them and it makes it easier to install software. We are also 
looking for memory. Volunteers are also appreciated and we won't frown 
if you donate other, more recent, computer equipment.

Donations to this project are tax deductible.

You are welcome to drop off parts and equipment during the following hours:

Monday: 4-7 pm
Wednesday: 1-5 pm
Saturday: 1-5 pm

We can arrange pickup of donated equipment, depending on what you are 
donating and your location.
