Repurposed Computers
Project Overview and Eligibility
Information Technology Services (ITS) retains approximately 20% of the Dell employee computers that are collected and replaced as part of the four-year computer replacement cycle. ITS deletes the data from these computers and makes them available for purchase by departments through the Repurposed Computer Program. This program is intended to provide computer resources to those who are not eligible for university-sponsored desktops. Individuals who may qualify to receive a computer through participation in this program include:
- Adjunct faculty
- Graduate assistants
- Student workers
- Generic departmental use
Specifications
Any repurposed computer will remain on the ETSU network for security and management purposes. ITS cannot guarantee to return a specific computer for use, but will provide the highest quality computers available. Each repurposed desktop will be re-imaged with the current university standard image before redistribution.
Cost
The computers will be redistributed on an as needed basis with priority given to departments currently using desktop computers more than six (6) years old. The price for each computer is $125, which includes an extended warranty (hardware and software support) through the ITS department for two (2) years. Anyone interested in purchasing a refurbished desktop computer through ITS that meets the eligibility requirements, should complete and submit the Repurposed Computer Form.
