I don't think this really matters, it's not the computers that would be reused but the infrastructure. These are essentially buildings with good ventilation and plenty of power and an internet connection that can likely be upgraded too. That's already quite useful

Ventilated buildings with power, but no networking gear or servers can surely be converted. But it's hardly a slam dunk. A lot of other buildings could be converted to that level too. So I think the other factors in choosing a data center location may dominate the decision.
