I think that is a good idea, help to make older technology usable. Make a
10 year old laptop serviable for another 5 years, or use parts from older
desktops to make a semi updated computer.

as an electronics tech who worked in RMA departments, i'd have to say putting old parts to make a computer to give to another is a receipe for disaster.

that computer will just blow out something and then it will have to be serviced again. that would be more expensive overall than getting them a cheap computer with new parts.

using old stuff just doesnt pan out.

The e-recycling places in my area that try to recover money through store
front used computer and part salesdo not offer up much stuff past 5 years
old. If it was worth anything it would sell quickly or in the case of older
stuff it would stripped down to recover materials. One place the company I
worked for would donate machines to stopped taking CRT's then eventually
hardware over 7 years old because they couldn't flip it.
