    Some help with these boards please

    I removed some boards from a few servers I had and would like some advice on how to classify them. Thanks!

    1. green motherboard grade
    2. finger card / green motherboard grade
    3 finger card / green motherboard grade

    Some buyers pay more for finger cards than motherboards so if you have enough it is worth it to separate them out. But what you have is going to bring $4+ per pound

    There on there way!! LOL!

    I love servers! Lots of big boards and not one tool needed to tear them down. Picked up 5 of them along with 6 towers and a few NIB Direct TV boxes with remotes. Doing some homework on the Direct TV boxes now.

    looks like 68 pin SCSI connectors there by your thumb, count one row(i use a pointer, such as a sharp toothpick to count with) and see if there's 34

    if so, it's probly an SCSI hard drive array controller
