Server price per pound

I would say 25c per lb is more than reasonable and fair. With or without hard drives. Most severs I have seen are 100 lbs and the boards weigh like 3-4 lbs.



So if you do the math. 100 lbs at 25c a lb. is 25 dollars. Then the board 3-4 lbs is $16 dollars to $20 figuring $4 per lb for dual socket boards. Then 90 lbs of shred at 10c is 10.00. So right now you broke even and made a couple dollars. Now you got the memory and power supplies and etc.

So a profit albeit a small one at 25c per lb. And of course the solid #2 copper heatsinks if your lazy and dont have time to clean them to make them #1 price.

So my personal average I would say $40 a server. But then you also got to look at the big picture.

The power supplies can go for $20 and up on EvilBay! The hard drive caddies are can go for #10, even the dummy bay. And the big ticket is the tape drive. I had a tape drive that still sells for 1200 new at NewEgg. I ended selling it for $300.00 to a refurbisher/ reseller on EvilBay, because I needed money now, not a month from now when someone decided they needed a fancy dancy tape drive lol.

So to sum it up. I would say 25c lb and stick with it. Maybe as high as 30c a lb if they got the drives and you can resell them without destroying them.
