Wish I could help ya buddy. If you could get a better look at them it would be great, otherwise I would be going $10 each tops. That is my basic server price just like my basic tower price is $4

Ill go as high as $20 on an old server if it weighs more than 100 pounds. Figure your gonna get about $10 for the case and the main board should be at least a 3 pound board. Rest is gravy. Really have to see it to bid on it though.

OK, ya got me. The only ones I have had my mitts on were small ones. I would pay $20 each as well for 100 pound servers.

I just bought one from the trash co. I deal with and it had 6 hard drives and 2 big plug in power supplies plus 2 dvd drives and an alum. front on it. It was all I could do to throw it in the trunk of my car. Evidently the cpu's must be built right onto the motherboard.
