    Awesome E-scrap Score

    So I see a Craigslist ad for 20 free crt-moniters while at work. I work full time. Normally scrap ads go very fast. This one was still there 7 hours later when i get oof work. I figure its because its crts. (most people here think too much work. where to dispose Of the tubes.) luckly i can get rid of tubes. There loss my Gain. I Responded to the ad and go the next day to pick up the crts. ther IT guy asks me if imake runs to the scrap yard. Uh, Yeah. He takes me to their IT departmaent where they are up-grading all their computer equipment. He asks if I want all their old stuff. Yup. So 20 crt moniters turned into this:
    Some of the towers and misc

    About one hundred 2 gig memory sticks and other cards



    a large Compaq server


    And this server looks brand new. they gave me a new inbox stablizer rack i think goes to it


    Here are the moniters.

    They can't because they are in your google account.

    I tried just pasting the URL of one of the pictures that you had up, and it just took me into my gmail account.

    My bad about the repeated pictures my computer is acting retarded when trying to link the pics from the two sites. there was alot more in the score ive already broke down most of the computers and have a good stash of different grade boards. i stopped what i was doing to get opinions from people more experienced with escrape. If anybody has suggestions they would be much apprieciated.

    I suggest putting the ram up on ebay. 2gb ram sticks sell pretty well, depending on what pc2 type they are. Make sure you check out everything on google/ebay before you break the server down and anything else that you have. I scored a dell power edge server and they go for $200 plus depending on the specs. All in all, I would say you've done extremely well.

    What model is that big old Compaq server with the big RAM sticks on top (they kind of look like old 256MB EDO DIMMs)?

    no i looked on e-bay same and like sticks are $15.50-$80.00 by typing in the numbers on them. The prices are all over the place thats why i was looking for opinions on pricing or sell them all quick and let someone else deal with it with more exprience. I guess thats the easy way out. i need to learn though. there is one that is still brand new never been opened i guess they missed that one.
