Well i have a good pick up day

one of my supplies called me up and said he had about 20 PC's for me. Well i took a trip over and his guys were already waiting for me. I went inside to meet with my contact and by the time i came out my car had 22 computers in it. Well since i was already loaded i paid my supplier the $110 and went on my way.

When i stopped at home i started to unpack when i noticed "IBM PC Pentium Pro Inside"

This peaked my interest really fast. So i pulled it aside and opened her up praying that the processor was still their, and it WAS! woo hoo. So i popped off the heat sink and their she was in all her golden glory a pentium pro. Then i noticed another heat sink. I was like no way could it be true. Popped that one off and her sister was right their 2 pentium pro processors in 1 PC!

Well i was doing my happy dance when i saw in my car the rest. 4 more of the same machine!!!

I haven't ripped into them yet and will tomorrow but i have my fingers crossed they are like the first.

Totals for the first machine were
5 finger cards
4 sticks of ram
2 pentium pro processors
1 dual socket mother board
2 hard drives
cd drive
floppy
power supply



i estimate at a cool $60 per machine scrap value.

Sweet, what a great find. I have gotten just one Pentium Pro. Mike.

nice pickup got my first ones last week as well. all out of ibm's

Well if they are all $60 scrap machines, that is $1,200. Not a bad return.

Sweet deal!
