TCU Used Computer Purchase Program

Faculty and Staff computers are currently replaced on a four year cycle.  After replacement of a computer, the employee who had been using the computer is eligible to purchase it from TCU.  If that employee elects not to purchase the computer, it is available for other employees to purchase. Arrangements to purchase used computers can be made with Chad Smith at c.d.smith@tcu.edu.

Price:

 

Computers cost $100. Monitors are $50.  Payments must be made at Financial Services with checks made out to "TCU".   Please bring the proof of purchase slip from Financial Services when picking up the computer. 

Product details:

• All used computers include a one-time load of Windows XP or Mac 10.4 operating system at time of pick-up by customer.  Operating system disks will not be provided by TCU and operating systems will not be restored by Technology Resources. Administrative passwords should be recorded for future use. No other applications are installed.  Microsoft Office is not installed on the computers.
• Computers are "as is" when purchased.  All manufacturer warranties on replaced computers have expired.  TCU Technology Resources provides no warranty, repair or support on these computers.
• Computers that have been replaced and purchased by Faculty and Staff are no longer eligible for use on the TCU network or for any TCU computing purposes.  The used computers are strictly for Personal Use Only. 
• Replaced computers must go through a decommissioning process (typically 14 days) before they are eligible for purchase.  During this process, the system will be reimaged which will remove all previously installed software and delete any data stored on the computer.

Used computers can be picked up from Sid Richardson, room 111 on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 3pm and 5pm.  If the Tuesday-Thursday time is not convenient, individuals may make an appointment with Chad Smith to arrange a different pick up time.  Please contact Chad at c.d.smith@tcu.edu.
