    That 120gb hard drive should fetch you $10 to $15 bucks on ebay or CL also.

    ok thrill seekers, here's a fresh batch of my unusuals. was a sunny saturday today, spring is settling in, days are getting longer and my stack of tv's is down to minimum.

    got a projector, still works and all but has a long cord and it's heavy so i'm scrapping it to see..



    these things are like meters or something, the one on the left has the side plastic panel with a lot of brass screws
    and it's where they'd connect wires, not really sure, the 888 digital clock thing you see looks like it's on but it's just the sun shining it, but they're heavy and i'm really into heavy..



    an e-scooter! I got this one a while ago but only got to it today, has no wheels or seat but the keys are still in the ignition. a quick look underneath seems like it's just a battery and an elect' motor, not much scrap value here but still, think it's kinda cool being called an e-scooter and being waste, e-waste..



    some days I like eggs for breakfast, especially before a big day out scrapping, these are essential tools for a hungry scrapper, chickens!



    today's most exciting find, well, probably the best thing this month, the september standout, is, 4 heavy boxes!
    I jumped the gun with the big dell data box i posted up, thinking that it might be a server, but now I think I finally found a server!

    I took the top covers off here but with the cover on they just look like plain steel boxes, just real heavy.
    inside there's boards that slide in and out like a filing cabinet, and as it turns out, these 4 are part of one system, 2 main ones and 2 aux ones, and they have 3, 4 or 5 boards in each...



    Pulled up some boards, it's a server for sure yeah?



    this board is the first one from the #1 box, it has what look like a ram stick stuck on and a cpu..



    a couple boards have little flash cards attached and again what looks like a stuck on ram stick.
    inside there's another board across the base, without the boards they are mostly empty by the looks but
    still very heavy so must be a big transformer inside or something.
