Shenzhen markets were awash with old laptops when I was there a few years ago (I still have a tiny Sony Vaio I bought when I was there). There were giant stacks of things like obsolete Toughbooks, giant stacks of Thinkpads etc. along with obsolete servers being recycled.
Being able to recycle those robust, well made chassis with modern hardware is a great idea.
