Best day ever (with photos)
Like i mentioned in an earlier post today, i had probably one of the best days in the 5 months doing E scrap today. Maybe not in quantity but definitely in quality. Not so much in resell quality but scrap quallity i guess you could call it. Todays load definitely had the wow factor. Atleast for a newbie like me. I have a regular customer who i clean out twice a month. Each time is usually the same, 50 Towers, some monitors, a few lap tops and a couple servers if im lucky. Well quantity wise it was about the same. But i had quite a few more servers than regular and they looked older. I got excited the minute i saw them. Alot of stuff was already packed in a large cubic yard box, i knew there was alot in it but i was anxious to see what was hiding on the bottom. I couldnt wait to get it home. On my way home i called my primary computer guy. He agreed to pay premium pricing if i called him first before calling any of my other computer guys. Little did he know, i was going to use him to help me off load. Nothing like a little free labor. He was at my house even before i was.
A picture before i off loaded. A handfull of servers, and the box is loaded all the way to the top with towers. I also have laptops and monitors in the cab of my truck.

what i pulled out of the box and the cab. 36 of these small type dell desk top computers, 9 lg towers and 6 more servers totaling 13. 12 lap tops and 10 LCD monitors.

After getting things situated i started to take a closer look at things. My buyer wasnt as stoked as me cause he didnt really find any towers he wanted to buy but did buy all of my lcd monitors and all but one laptops for $15 each. So now i had over $300 dollars in my pocket not even that got me excited. What really made it a great day is what i show you next.
read the bottom label. Are my eyes reading right? Pentium Pro Processor? i have 4 of these units. All have the same label.

This cant be possible. I need to bust one of these open immediately.

Not too much going on in there, even the heat sink is small. Id think it be a huge heat sink and fan to protect a pentium pro.
i remove the heat sink......

there she is..... the infamous Pentium pro processor. It blows my mind a came across 4 of these today. Thats one more than ive found in all 5 months of scrapping. In 2 of the other servers i found ceramic pentium processors with gold caps. Two per server.
Not only did i make $300 the minute i got this stuff off loaed, i also found what i always day dream of finding. I have zero dollars invested in todays load except what i spent on gas. Today was a good day. I only pray i get more like it.
