I kind of already mentioned this, but almost every corporation will happily give you their old pcs, when they upgrade, if you ship them. This usually would entail either a big vehicle, and multiple trips, or paying a tractor trailer, which I doubt you have the resources for. If you did such a thing, you could likely almost pay for the shipping by recycling the old parts for scrap (though a contact would have to be made for that as well). Of course, you'd also have to pay for disposal of the non-recyclable material, as well.
Just a thought, James
