Amazing! I shop and intern there regularly, and it's an amazing place with great staff! If you have a problem, they can help you, and they have an amazing discord community!

I bought a 320GB raptor drive and a case all for $15 to make a dedicated Minecraft server with parts I had. Very nice staff and even a discord server!

Folks have always been super friendly when I've been donating items. Thanks for helping with electronics recycling in the Twin Cities!

I love Free Geek Twin Cities! The obvious thing to look for here of course is good prices on used hardware. The thing I often find though is they have things I forgot I needed, and can't resist buying when I see them. Very friendly and helpful staff, too. They have a great collection of both current and older parts, at prices that not only are better than other brick and mortar stores but often cheaper than you can even get online. To top it off, the revenue they take in at the store goes to help provide computers and computer learning to those less fortunate. Support a great mission while finding good deals on the things you might have forgotten you needed, what's not to love?

My tv is broken can I go there tomorrow ,give them my broken tv and get a free used tv?

Vachon Mardis | May 17, 2022
Michael Olson | May 17, 2022

Unfortunately not. You can call ahead and see if they'll accept the TV, but they do not give TVs away for free. There is a lower resolution TV there for sale for $5 at the moment, and might be more in the store for a bit more.

Unlikely they would, and I am unaware of a place that would do this. Possibly Micro Center.

Do you take computer monitors for recycling? These are in great shape and still work. Is there a charge?

Sandy Hommel | Oct 14, 2021
Andre Prowizor | Oct 14, 2021

I believe that they will take lcd/flat panel monitors in working condition. No CRT tube type monitors though.
