Computers last on an average, a good 5 to 8 years before the software becomes completely obsolete. As we’ve just experienced, in April of 2014, Microsoft announced they would no longer offer support on Windows XP after 12 years in existence. It is not justifiable for their company to spend the money on support and security when there aren’t many computers with this operating system (OS). There have been too many changes to the OS over time and with more recent versions of the software, XP is old and outdated.

Fortunately, the usefulness of a computer doesn’t end there. Here, at Server Worlds, we use old computer hardware to refurbish and make it work as well as if it was new. Our refurbished dell servers and workstations work just as good as a new computer. We are a Microsoft Registered Refurbisher, meaning you have the assurance of the software on the computers being supported for your benefit. We want to help reuse old equipment that still has capability of working well with a few updates to the software.

Planned obsolescence has its place in the computer industry as the revolving door of technology keeps turning and new tech is created. When many people find that their computers don’t start, they get the pertinent information off them and either let them sit in a hall closet until they move or dump them at the closest electronic recycling location. You don’t have to spend more money to buy new when you can spend less to buy refurbished. With us, you have the option to recycle electronics and to buy refurbished goods. Search our website to find servers and workstations to fit your needs or to recycle computer hardware that is outdated.
