Team LMG disassembles them, re-packages the parts he was sent by sponsors, and sends them back. Occasionally, they keep them and put them to use at the office.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Probably they just deconstruct them and sell or keep the parts for further builds.

As far as I know, he's kept all of them. They even used a combination of the original rigs in Scrapyard Wars 1 in their CPU IPC comparison.

As someone else said, they get disassembled and the parts gets sent back to sponsors. When they are allowed to keep the parts they either gets sold (someone saw a Craigslist add for 7 R9 Nanos shortly after the "7 gamers 1 tower" video) or put in their storage for future use/sales.

 

 

Either that or Linus breaks something and they throw it in the garbage...
