Old PC's

[Sammy Lao]

OK. They are a bit old. :-)

We use a lot of these computers as pedagogical tools to teach people the
inside of a computer. We can use them to demo what each item is and how
to test whether they are functional.

As for end-use, we take most computers coming in apart and salvage what
we can still use from them and then separate the components out. We keep
what parts we can and recycle the rest.
