Try checking with e-waste handlers. We have one in our area that charges by the pound to recycle it but reimburses us for what they can sell. I know they resell working PCs very cheap.

We have a discount computer store that gets "pallets" of used Dell stuff every week. These are way more than pii/piii and are only 100 or so each. -----Original Message----- From: John Aldrich [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, June 25, 2010 10:38 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Help -- "Bricked" PC Great.
