My most surprising find was a newer dell motherboard with an i7 still in it (I don't remember the models). This was in the middle of a mixed gaylord of boards. The motherboard was scratched up, and had some dings. I powered it up, and tested things, and everything was just fine! I sold the motherboard for 60ish (fully disclosing the condition), and the cpu for 100. Crazy.
