Just picked up this load a few days ago. Took two pick-up loads to bring it all back. About 20 large Dell severs (80+ pounds each), 25-30 towers, boxes of parts (not shown), tape library, some telecom boxes, 100-150 lbs wire, some switches, etc, etc. Paid $450 for all. Already dismantled most of it, so far about 160 lbs boards, 11 lbs RAM, lots of CPU's (some ceramics), a few good resale parts, 100 lbs aluminum, wire, tin, etc. Will be an easy $1000 clean profit on this lot. I'm very happy!

Did the dell opitplex have a pentium pro? Its in the last picture on the bottom right.
Unfortunately not, it was a Pentium III. But there was 1 486, 1 gold cap IBM, a couple of AMD ceramics, and one ceramic Intel i960 on one of the cards in one of the servers.
Everything is broken down now, took 2 days with some good help.
I already got rid of the cases, barely fit on the truck.
Here is roughly how it will work out:
1400 lbs tin/shred $100 - already taken to the yard
180 lbs high grade boards - $720
11 lbs RAM $165
~8 lbs slot CPU's $96
misc ceramic CPU's $40
other CPU's $15
100 lbs Aluminum $60
350 lbs power supplies $105
wire - haven't sorted or weighed yet maybe $100 or so?
batteries and transformers (from UPS) $25
resale parts:
2 tape drives currently bid to $100 on ebay
some hard drives $50
some apple keyboards and mice $40
5.25" floppy drive $15
misc. resale parts $50
TOTAL: $1681.

You should be able to break down the UPS further I have started doing it because I would rather make .40 cents per lb instead of .23 for UPS units whole, and besides most of the weight is in the transformer
|
You will do well with the servers. Congrats
