Ryan, love the rack, and love the idea of the "triage" cart. Great stuff.
Not trying to get off topic, but since they were brought up, I would think that someone could write a program to fully test RAM. I don't know programming enough, but I would think that a simple program could test it to it's max. I may be wrong, but still think it would be simple.
One quick note on power supplies. One of the local repair guys that I deal and trade with does not just go with the handheld power supply tester. His reasoning makes sense as well. It is not under load at all. The computer you are scrapping and pulling that power supply from, may just not work because of that power supply and it won't show under that voltage tester. His solution was to hook up the tester and then just add a simple load such as hooking up a CD drive. Even the smallest load can show it is bad if it can't handle a load. I have not done this yet, but he swears by it and gets a small failure rate after hooking up a small load to the power supply. That can mean a big difference in e-bay sales when considering returns and possible bad feedback.
