I'll go one better.  I've run into places where they use many laptops and 
they just hang on to the whole laptop when an employee leaves, or needs a 
new one, instead of pulling the hard drives.

As cheap as hardware (hard drives) is and given the risk that you could
damage the drive during transfer or have data loss (the human factor) it
would seem to me that it would be a better practice to just keep the drive
and replace it with a new one. In three years you will be replacing the PC
with a new one anyway - there would be no thought of reusing the drive.
