PC Donation Requirements – Remarkit
To support the Christchurch City rebuild, we are asking all of our partners and customers to donate computers, printers, mobile phones and networking equipment. Those who will benefit from these donations are NGOs, schools and small businesses who have no way of replacing those units that were broken and damaged during the earthquake. The minimum specifications for donated hardware are outlined below:
• Pentium 4 3Ghz Processor
• 1Gb RAM
• 80Gb Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
• DVD ROM

Once donated, the hardware will be re-imaged with free copies of Microsoft’s Windows XP operating system and Microsoft Office 2007 Basic. All licensing fees have been waived by Microsoft. As a Microsoft Approved Refurbisher, Remarkit works to a set of criteria to ensure organisations qualify for the donated IT equipment.

To donate IT equipment including PC’s, notebooks, printers, mobile phones and mobile phone chargers, just contact Remarkit Solutions on +64 (4) 912 1020 or visit Remarkit 21 Jamaica Drive, Grenada North, Wellington. You may also find this shipping advice form useful.
