    Not sure what these would be worth but, they are certainly unusual in to days China slave labor world.

    tore down a couple of monster servers the other day. one IBM and one HP. These were custom Military servers from my contractor. Because of what they are, unless you know what your doing, they each would be an all day job getting them open. The components are all on trays or baskets and uncased in a titanium Faraday cage. Each set of components weighs in the neighborhood of 50 lbs and each tray is secured in the case by hidden lock screws in combination with hidden levers. They are designed so that one person could not remove any vitals in a hurry.

    I digress. Any way I pulled the memory and threw it in my been. Later I sorted through the been for gems and nuggets.

    36 sticks of IBM MADE IN USA OR CANADA. these are designated as 1024 MB rather then I G.

    4 sticks of 2G made in Canada.

    8 sticks of 4G made in Korea

    Maybe these aren't unusual but it has been a long time since I seen any IT stuff made in USA, Canada or Korea.
