That same thing.
What often happens is that a 3rd party company has the duty to supply 
and maintain the desktops, and after 5 years or so they are not 
interested. They will supply new, take the old back, get the disks 
crushed and pass what's left onto a refurb company.

Its all about being able to warrant the hardware software and support.

And accountancy rules. 5 years and they are written off against tax already.

We benefirt from machines selling at a lower price than the processors 
inside them
