What’s Inside
Internet Cafe with 3 public use computers:
Our Fayetteville, Arkansas location features an internet cafe where anyone can come and use the internet, print out forms, and scan anything they need. We also provide free diagnosis of computer issues and can fix many things.
Besides being useful, our Thrift Store is packed with items from computers and monitors to cassette decks, speakers, cables, and various electronics. You are sure to find something for every geek in your life.
Thrift Store Goods:
Our online store is a constant work in progress. Computers are regularly updated inventory while other items are there to show examples of what we might have on hand and how they are priced. Here is the link to our online store. Shop in our thrift store (Wed-Sat, noon-6pm) where you can browse inventory or search for specific electronic parts.
Everyday, volunteers and staff are doing their best to sort incoming e-waste donations, build computers, test electronics, and tear down gear. If that sounds exciting to you, then please get involved today by signing up to volunteer.
