Ebay purchase leads to HAUL!!

So I won 2 x compaq servers on ebay for $10. When I get to the computer repair store to collect them today, I ask the shop assistant to take a look at my flyer, and see what they may want to get rid of.

She calls the owner and then says 'he has some junk out the back if you want it?'

So we go out and BANG!!!!!!!

I spy a mountain of gear!! About 35 - 40 towers, massive pile of cables, drives, power supplys etc.

There was also a big heap of CRT monitors, about 40 I rekon. On my flyer I state that I will take CRT but they will incurr an $8.00 handling fee (they cost me $3 ea to get rid of) Next she says I can have THE LOT!! and the boss will be happy to pay for me to take each of the CRT's!

Also, would I mind doing a pick up every 2 months??? Well....I guess I could. PMSL!!


Fooking awesome! I loaded up my car as much as I could, and will return for the rest in a day or two

**Was too excited to get a pic, but here is a short video of load No 1 or the 3 loads I will do, the 4th load will be the 40 odd CRT's, pay before I haul, thats the deal

So my $10 investment just made me $320 in CRT collection fees, and 3 full loads of gear to scrap out!!


Thanks!

congrats man

Thanks all!

Will do another vid when I have it all

Here is a short vid of the server...I had never had the chamce to play with one, so should be good!

sorry its crappy quality, used my phone


Those big gold heat sinks are actualy on the back of the 2 slot processors...

I will do some pics of a fully dismantled server unit next week..

Great stuff!!!
Hard work pays off!

Good deal. You should be able to work up a load here very shortly.

47 towers will give you a nice penny.
