Nobody will buy even the parts. It's not worth to reuse them either - they're just too old (DDR2 RAM). It's about 13 years old low end system. It has 2GB of RAM, I'm pretty sure Windows 10 won't even run on it. I personally wouldn't bother. Try to sell PSU(s) separately.

 

Same story with 2nd one. It's even older. Unless somebody wants an old computer for collection they're worthless. But for that to happen, it would have to be working. To check if it works, you can try booting a Linux distro off pendrive, it's really easy. Keep in mind 2nd one is 32-bit.
