I got my computer at the Santa Rosa Computer Recycling Center. During the Saturday morning sale(9a.m.-2p.m.), we got a great deal on a great, super-charged, recycled computer, with free repairs support and if it turns out to have problems. Though we've never needed to use the free support. https://www.crc.org/fundraisers/index.html
We also bring our computer stuff for recycling there, any day of the week. https://www.crc.org/donate/index.html :thumbsup: :nod:
