    Yea I did see that. These are all dead/decommissioned, not sure if that matters or is relevant for him. Also I usually prefer to take the boards off.

    In other news, there was 2, server 2U uninterruptible backup power supplies. Each one has 30lbs of transformers (2x @ 15lb each) and 32lbs of lead-acid batteries.... then the boards and wires and stuff too.... pretty hefty machines....

    Just a thought, if I get something really big like that, I consider running my AV and computer equipment through it. For the price of new batteries, you have a great power backup as well as a voltage conditioner to protect equipment from spikes and dips.

    Yea I did get 2 of them I may decide to keep one, batteries are cheap enough. May also decide to try and sell one, but one I just wanted to rip open for the fun of it.

    >Oh, and if I was going to bet money, that compressor unit is charged.

    We'll have to get a bookie and start taking bets! Im am 99.99% positive it is not charged now. upon further investigation, if you look into the valve, we can see it is fully open and there is a clear path from the condensor through to the valve..... now, Im not an HVAC tech so still not 100% sure.
