How to Become a Recipient

Phoenix Computers^SM is not able to offer computers directly to the public.  Our licensing agreement with Microsoft requires that we work through other non profit organizations or government agencies which refer their clients to us to obtain a computer.  So, if you want to obtain a computer from Phoenix you will need a referral from either of these organizations.  For a list of a few of the organizations that we partner with click here to see if you are already working with one.  If you are, then all you have to do is speak to them about getting a referral.  If they are not listed, have them give us a call and we can let them know how to make a referral. Once you have obtained your referral all you have to do is to bring it in on the days that we are open to obtain your desktop computer. If you are not working with a case manager or social worker but you are receiving SSI or SSDI benefits then just bring a copy of your award letter or a form letter from a government welfare agency stating that you are low income. Appointments are not necessary to pick up your computer.  The basic desktop computer bundle with Windows 10, includes the computer itself (which comes in many shapes and sizes), a keyboard and mouse and is priced at $25.  Flat screen monitors start at $5.00 for a 17” monitor and range up to $60, based on the screen size and whether speakers are built into the monitor. We have a wide variety of laptop computers and prices of range from $55 to around $200, depending on the hardware inside. We accept both cash and credit/debit cards as payment.  We are charged 3% for processing a credit/debit card and that fee is added to your purchase price. Since we refurbish many different types of computers your selection is made from the computers that are on the shelf at the front desk.  Stand alone speakers are available in different configurations from a pair of stereo speakers ($10) to other sets which have a subwoofer and even additional speakers. We usually have color ink jet or black and white laser jet printers.  All ink-jet printers come with full ink cartridges.  The price varies with the particular printer, but typically ranges from $15-$30.
