Disposing of old PC

[AngusMcCoatup]

The retailer where I purchased my last PC offers a service to take in old electronic equipment for destruction.  Very convenient.

 

I'd still make sure there was no personal data readable on any drive before handing it over for recycling. Or remove any drive entirely.

                 Good luck mate, hope everything is successful.

                Excellent advice from Angus

A relation of mine purchased a reconditioned/updated computer from a 'reputable' shop. Worked OK for years... was very surprised to find  porno pics on it. Couldn't understand where they'd come from !
