Solbourne Vendors

[This page is particularly problematic as much of it largely predates the Web, so I'm not sure how much of this can be checked. Corrections and updates appreciated. -- Cameron]

Donations

The University of Colorado Computer Science Department is always happy to take your old unwanted Solbourne equipment (and anything else you might want to get rid of within reason!). So, before you sell it, consider donating it to us and writing it off from your taxes.

We can provide you with the appropriate documentation necessary for claiming a deduction, however, be aware that we cannot, by law, assign a value to your equipment.

Otherwise, you must obtain a qualified independent appraisor for this if you will be claiming more than a certain amount ( ($5,000/year) / category to all donees).

Notice :

I am not a tax preparer, nor am i intimate with accounting procedures or tax law. Therefore take what i say with a grain of salt and query the appropriate people in your organization

Manufacturers

Vendors dealing in Solbourne parts

Note :

I take no responsibility as to the accuracy of the information here, nor to the validity that said vendors still carry Solbourne equipment (though please let me know if you have other pointers, or if these vendors have stopped dealing in Solbourne equipment) I also am not responsible if you have a sour experience with anyone listed here. (though you can let me know and if a vendor seems flaky i might remove them from the list)
