    It's showing current bid being $60. Each processor weighs 35 pounds for total 2450 plus the odd server. For $70, it'd be worth renting a trailer.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    If you pass on a lot like that for that price(assuming it stays that low) you are nuts. You could spend 100.00 on a uhaul and still do very well. The sunfire server alone would cover more than half of the 70.00. I just took one apart that was well over 100 lbs. It had around 20 lbs of boards in it and over 2lbs of RAM.

    With just the boards and the steel in those servers you are looking at around 500.00 scrap value. That does not include CPU's, power supplies, RAM, and probably all copper heat sinks

    Gah....and silly me will be less then 2 hours from Richmond, next weekend.

    Will up there again in October. My preferred amusement park does a big Halloween thing, might have to see if any auctions ending around that time. LOL. Man would my wife be mad.."Sorry babe, I'll come back for you after I get the servers home.."
