    PM'd You!
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    Just for reference these are AlphaServer boards. The first board is either an E2067-DA or a 2063-DB CPU Module Board
    The second board I have never seen.. looks like a later model VAX CPU module board possibly
    The 3rd board is a Memory Module Board in the MS7CC series. Sadly someone pilfered the RAM out if it before Mike came into possession of it-- Just imagine that all those empty slots at the top of the board are chocked full of RAM! This is the same series board I had won on auction from a guy on Ebay and he never shipped it.. GRRRR.. eludes me again!

    Pretty, very pretty! In case anyone is wondering, those little red squares/rectangles in first photo are a rarely(for me) seen form of Tantalum capacitor. Not more valuable just much rarer form.

    Very nice!

    I got some of the same kind of boards last year. They were complete with the RAM. Got 30 lbs RAM from them, plus I removed the gold cap CPU’s also, got about 15 lbs. Still sold the boards for $4.00/lb! Would love to get another load like that!

    By the way those CPU's also have a gold cap on the bottom.

    I think those CPU with the Gold cap and two bolts are 1/2 a Gram of Gold each....

    I have only ever seen/got one. And one end of its broken off... It would be a 'keeper' for sure, if it was whole.

    I read on the other shiny metal forum, they yield about 0.3-0.4g each, same as a Pentium pro. I still have all those CPU’s, about 15 lbs (around 130 pieces), should do pretty well one day when I decide to cash out on those. For now I added them to my ceramic CPU hoard.

    My guy's had already started removing the RAM and heatsinks when saw them. Scores like these are cha-chingers for sure!!
