 The best answer is to make friends with a scrapper.
Anyone who will pay
twice the scrap value consistently will be a welcome customer. In the
long run you may get systems set aside for you to look at. Ask for
particular brands or items but don't become a pest. They need to know
what you are looking for.  Check on a regular basis. Don't ask them to
call you unless you are willing to offer significant money. They are busy
and you are not a major part of their business. 
I like the idea... my only question is, Where does one find such a
scrapper?  Is it as simple as checking the Yellow Pages under Scrapper
or metal recovery?  How do you know they deal with computers without
calling?  I'd hate to get off to a bad start with one...
