As you mention, the old machine might even have some value, making the
"cost to retire" a negative number!
The company I work for offers replaced machines to the employees at
nominal prices. It's not so much reducing 'cost to retire' as getting rid
of the boxes. Most are Dells that were of reasonable quality in their day.
They're first offered to the programmers running Linux if they're an
upgrade to the existing machine. The same goes for monitors.
It's not an altruistic move; they used to stick old boxes and peripherals
in the backroom until they couldn't stuff any more in.
