    Nice score, let us know the math after you break it all down. I am hesitant to spend money right now with the market being so weak so I try to get it all for nothing or close to $0 as possible
    The hours I put into breaking it all down does not justify more than maybe $3 at the most per machine- that's if they are not gutted already ( memory , cpu removed etc)
    I did 50 of those once, when you get going you become like a machine tearing those babies down
    And I don't dare bring the scrap units into the house ( rebuilds to sell are OK) but I get the stink eye from the wife for those too if they start to pile up.

    It may be awhile on the math. I'm very seriously considering holding onto the mobos until gold recovers. #1.20 a pound is the best I've found so far local, If that's all I get, this may well turn into a losing deal.

    Hindsight's 20/20, but had I known there were no harddrives I wouldn't have taken this on. Even just 80GBs fetch 2 bucks apiece. That was going to be my profit. But I had to jump fast & hope. I can't believe the IT guy didn't nab the RAM when he was in there taking out the HDs.

    Meh... ya live, ya learn. (now which room can I hide a gaylord full of mobos in? LOLOL)
