What are they? I have worked on both sides of the equation. I had a client who donated over 50 PC's to a NFP (faith based K-8 school). The school was then upset that the computers were all three years old! (at the end of a lease).

"rebuilding" for a profit on a system over so many years old is not really a fruitful proposition.

And worst of all. Most computers for "recycling" are shipped out of the USA and into slavery
