Absent any directive from above, I doubt if that's an option for the local FM group. But it may happen at higher levels.

Was this to trade out existing but older FHC machines? I can see that happening.
Just to add, prior guidelines made if very clear that repurposing of computers (or hand-me-downs) could not be used to increase the count of FHC machines. It appears the only way to do that and stay in policy is though qualified donations.

The FM group turns the machines into a company that disposes of them properly. We have to make sure Church-owned machines go through proper disposal so that they don't end up in a landfill. This is one of the reasons we don't have a policy to re-purpose machines, and it gets rid of the liability.
