    Not sure what I got

    These are 4 of the components from a server rack I think. It came from a credit union. The rack was on wheels and i couldn't get that thing to budge until I pulled every single component. Even empty I had to use a come-a-long to get it up the ramp of my trailer. The heaviest component weighs between 75 and 100 pounds. Crazy heavy. Not really sure if they are servers, storage or what.

    All the information you need is on the outside of the case, install a bar code scanner onto your phone then scan the code and then have the app do a product search.

    Save up your beans and get a smart phone. They help your business while you're out and about so you can look up things while you are trying to figure out what to offer. Mike

    The bottom one I'm assuming was the heaviest one. It looks like a power supply. Check the prices on the storage unit. If it still works you're gonna be pretty happy.

    I'll defiantly do some more research before I part then out. Not sure if any of them work and have no way of testing them.

    If you can or want to, tell us how the deal went down. I'm very curious on such a deal. Thanks!
