    This question has been asked a couple of times. It this case things have changed over the last year.

    1. servers like computers are using cheeper methods and materials.

    2. The internet has taught warehouse men and others in charge of excess servers there is easy value in servers. The easy parts are being stripped in many cases, memory , CPUs heat sinks and finger cards.
    so be very careful if your paying for them. The scrap value of the servers we get from two large corp has dropped over 50% over the last year.

    The easier they are to get into the more that will be missing. That would be Dells (all models) HPs U1 thru U4, Sun all models. IBM, Citrix, Cisco are a little harder to get to so chances are they are mostly un touched.



    Our profit per server 2 years ago was about .59 per lb this year less then .25.
    "anyone who thinks scrappin is easy money ain't doin it right!"
