prices may be low but this little bit is still worth $157.80 there was a smaller tub with those stainless/ext alu heatsinks so it would have been more but with not a lot of buyers around I have to settle for dirty alu for those and with so much going for so little right now these alone covered the cost of the last 4 pallets I bought

I love surprises. went to an auction yesterday and picked up a pallet of computers which on the outside look like just regular dell optiplexes and tore it down and there were a few older ones including these 486's Pentium and not show here lol but also a fun duel socket p3 and some nice cards to go with these as well

Don't forget the Buyer in Ohio does buy those if you want to fill up a box with other escrap. Not too bad of a price compared to my local yard at dirty alum price.Quote:

Nice pics, Travis! Rootin' for more. (((root root)))
that's true but my dirty alu price beats what I could get because of shipping
travis, I asked at my yard and they said they will take the alu fin with copper pipe heatsinks as clean alu rads. I think they just doing me a favour because I never have a lot of either one, but it never hurts to ask.Quote:

Keep on keepin on, Travis. I'm trying to tap into ewaste in the worst way... bought a truck today. Time to get to it!
got a box of boards dropped off with these fun ones inside the mix a couple of gold ic's and nice boards and such which I tried looking them up and the best I could come up with was there out of a xray controller box says ion source display on the one and artwork numbers. its a sweet one with many of the plug and play ic display chips put it on ebay and got a watcher already so will see if it sells I only listed it for $25 since I don't know much about it but if not it will go into the collection. still trying to find the official name for the display chips lol

picked up another pallet yesterday at the auction 65 computers total 11 laptops and found a few nice goodies in it some black fibers and p3's but these 3 goodies were a bonus that will at least pay for it maybe even double it the asus p3 black fiber combo I have not seen in a while.
