Hi all, been a while since I've posted an ad on carbonite or even been active on here. I've moved to the northern cape a couple of months ago, De Aar to be specific. It's kak boring here.
I'm not one to ask for handouts and this is my first post on carbonite like this.
The caretaker here at the mosque in de aar, lives in Colesburg which is maybe 3 hours away. He hitch hikes every now and then to visit his wife and kids but otherwise he stays on site in a fairly reasonable accommodation. Only downside is that the only entertainment he has is his phone with no wifi and some aerial tv.
The care taker (Hassan) has basically taken care of me and my colleagues and welcomed us into the community since we got here and I'd just like to make his life a little bit easier. I'm looking for any broken old laptop that I can fix or put together and maybe load a lite Linux for him and then he'd be able to get movies or series from friends to entertain him. @shani786 has offered to provide a 120gb SSD.
I can pay for courier and maybe R500 for spare parts or the laptop itself and as soon as I'm able to get the rest of my electronics from home with me I plan of PIF'ing a bunch of things
Thank you all
Item Wanted: Broken / old laptop
Packaging Essential: nay
Desired Age: Doesn't matter
Location: De Aar, Northern Cape
