There are a few avenues, as I see it;

1) get a space and open a refurbish/ repair shoppe.
2) try to find clients first, and set them up with preconfigured
refurb stuff, and maybe back it up on a contract.
3) try to get sponsorred to take our "junk" computers, and furnish
charitable institutions, around the world, with running, tested,
configured "dream networks" ... made out of our old junk.

it's worth doing, but some creativity will be required to make it pay.
