I was reading this article:

...and was wondering how many vintage machines one could find if they
traipsed around China for a summer and visited all the various e-waste
processing gulags that (litterally) litter the country.
There is literally billions of pounds of e-waste entering China every
year. If even a fraction of a fraction of that is old systems that are
worth collecting and a fraction of that is still in some sort of complete
and unwrecked condition, there is a vintage computer bounty waiting to be
plundered by a brave privateer.
The trick is getting it back to your place of origin ;)
