The C3 Refurbishing process

Transfer of Ownership: Cincinnati Computer Cooperative assumes all responsibility for your equipment and will provide you with the necessary documentation for your records. YOU MUST FILL IN THE TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP FORM ABOVE WITH A COMPLETE LIST OF DONATED EQUIPMENT.

Technical Evaluation: Every CPU is fully inspected by a technician to determine its specifications, for example; CPU type, amount of memory, and hard drive size. If the technician concludes that there is a bad, missing, or damaged component; it can be repaired at that time.

Data Erasure: C3 recommends that your company erase the data in compliance with regulations such as HIPPA, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, NAVSO P-5239-26, and NISPOM (DOD) 5220-22-M. Please take time to look over "Ten tips for donating a computer" (above) for helpful information about erasure.  After receiving your equipment, C3 will wipe all working hard drives 10 Gh or larger, with a 3 pass Department of Defense compliant erasing program. All smaller or non-functioning hard drives will be removed, and physically destroyed with our EDR. SOLUTIONS Hard Drive Crusher.

Component Breakdown: All CPU’s that are not economically repairable are stripped for parts content. The parts are then used to repair other non-working units. Any component that cannot be salvaged is sent to a ISO 9001 compliant recycling center .

Refurbishing/Asset Tag Removal: Our experienced staff cleans all CPU’s inside and out. Before the computer leaves the Ghosting stations all asset tags are removed.

Imaging the OS: Each C3 computer is imaged with a Windows 98 or 2000 operating system. Our state of the art process can image 32 at one time which makes C3 one of the leaders in this field!
