Hi All
Please check this websisite .http://freegeek.org.
[b]volunteers build the computers that we give to volunteers and non-profit organizations, and sell in our Thrift Store. You don't have to have any prior knowledge to join the Build Program, just willingness to learn. Graduates of the Build Program get to keep the sixth computer they build, and often go on to become Build Assistants or Teachers, training our next group of volunteers. Learn more about this program here.[/b
But it is in Portland , OR. I wish , if we were having something like this in Phoenix also.

Great Link. I wish they had a facility near me. I'm in Georgia. I hope they open up more branches, it seems like a great organization that serves many purposes.
