Client trying to back me into a corner by being cheap?

[Choppie]

They back you into a corner, you dump them by the curbside!

Do you really want the headache of those old machines? What if a PSU blows and takes the entire machine? Last person that touches the hot potato!

Besides, in two years when Windows 10 goes EOL, those machines are sitting ducks.

If it were me and I didn't need the clients, I would only send one quote and include a memo saying it's not economical for reuse, just like how major OEM do when they replace machines under warranty, they often state "not economical for repair, costs exceed device value".

PSU blows and takes the entire machine? Last person that touches the hot potato!

That statement right there says it all....100 percent agree, and I've seen it happen!
