Server Score & UPS/APC

I'm figuring with servers & such.
If I have picked it up as 'ewaste'. Ewaste is all its good for. Security systems could have value though.

I was at a radio station (Music FM) & noticed the server they had. The guy noticed that and said " They paid $20,000 for that. In X years they will have finished with it and they will sell it as scrap steel.."
"Why" I asked.
"Well when they buy it, they get so many years of free updates. Once that's finished, any 'bugs' in the programme won't get fixed or upgraded. At that point everyone knows that that servers got 'bugs' & how to exploit it... And That could cost them a lot of money.
So once its out of its working life, they scrap it & buy a new one".



Makes sense to me now.

I scrapped 3 of those same servers a couple of months ago, they didn't have the CPU, memory & hard drives though.
