As far as what I use to test them. I have a test bench set up to test all the ram and parts. Basically just three different motherboards ddr1 2 and 3 boards so I can test the ram. You could buy a ram tester but thy are about $4000. Hard drives I have a USB hard drive disk I use to test them with some software that I have. But again if you dont want to spend the time to test all the stuff yourself I do buy the working stuff for better than scrap value.

what do you use to test the ram with?

also if I remember correctly of a past conversation with you, you got the usb tester for the hard drives off ebay right?
