    Well I got started on the pick up, this guy has quite abit of stuff. yesterday just took my truck and left with a load of 27 towers all from the 1980's ibm. Also picked up word processors, old dot matrix printer. a server. Guy has alot left going back next weekend with trailor to pick up all the rest. alot of old crts to hauls away also. Will keep posting. I have to get some pics of the boards and such. Here are pics of the motherboard, fingercards, harddrive (huge), and the old cpu's intel and amd 8088. anyone know how these boards would grade. they are loaded with chips.

    Minimum telecom grade. Let you in a secret. Those pci cards. Pull the little bracket and cut the finger off. It wont degrade the board and you can sell the fingers for 75.00+ lb depending on if you do ebay or ewasted.
