I live in a tiny town of 6,000 people. My local mom-and-pop computer
store (repair, Internet, service, they do it all) routinely tosses out
semi-dead motherboards (the serial port got zapped, no one wants a
separate serial card, so it's history), too-small hard drives,
working VGA-ish monitors, etc. I can't imagine what a larger
repair shop would routinely toss.
