I got a call from a gentleman saying he was doing a cleanout of a home and the previous occupant was a computer repairman. He estimated about 10 towers with some parts. After about 2 hours of digging through piles of god knows what, this is what I ended up with. I think the final count was around 30 towers, complete and a few partials. We settled on a crisp $100.00 bill for all. Most of the stuff is older technology. Alot of IBM, a few "suitcase" towers as I call them. I opened one up and saw a i486 CPU and board in one of them. As for the parts, I filled up a big box with ram, video cards, hard drives etc and another plastic tote with cables and wires. A couple good finds were i486 and 386 boards with cpu's intact. Unfortunatley, I had to leave some less complete stuff behind as I filled my trailer and the fact we had my wifes Explorer and not my truck (save fuel). I would not put anything except the box of parts inside the truck due to the condition of the house ( I supplied the box). The gentlman allowed me to take whatever parts from the partial towers I could not fit, so I grabbed whatever CPU's and ram that I could. He agreed to put aside anything else he finds during the actual cleanout and call me to pick them up.
