    I would say $10/each would be fair but not sure if that would get it done......

    from that forum was taking place about 2007, but doesn't say anything about size and weight of the frame, unless it's down in those comments somewhere. It could have several server boxes, and any number of raid arrays. There's really no substitution for actually seeing it.

    those 380s have a m5,m6,m7, that i saw, there's likely an m2,3,and4 as well, only way to know what's there is either inspect it or have someone you've dealt with there tell you from up close exactly what it's got

    6000 servers?? the m# things are series numbers. If you sell the memory on ebay you'll multiply your money by a good bit no doubt. Might be able to turn a number of the CPUs there as well, and maybe a few parts sales like motherboards and power supplies. Hard drive RAID arrays (with or without HDDs) might sell as add'l storage to places who still use them and only want some extra expansion capabilities

    Those racks may be your biggest problem, even empty they still can weigh several hundred pounds

    once more; they want you to buy 6000 mainframe servers sight unseen??

    Yeah if your talking mainframe server racks your in for a heap of weight olddude. One of those server racks full can weigh over 1000 pounds. 6000 of them babies would keep you busy for months.

    they say it will take about 3 years to replace all 6000 servers so we are looking at about 4 pallets every 2 months. we are paying for the servers and hard drives only. all the racks, monitors,cables and perifials we are taking at no charge as a service.
