I was hoping for a nice stash, what I found was a virtual treasure cave or caves to be more exact. dont have any Idea how Im going to handle this one.
first off he asks me if I would be interested in a pallet 7 feet high with servers, he dosent have any more room for them. he was going to turn them down. next we enter the 3 car garage one bay holds a car the other two are stacked 6 foot high wall to wall with every kind of computer, server, network hook ups you can imagin, after worming our way through the towering stacks we come to a ladder to the attic or loft of the garage. the loft is full of computers, he says they are all working, just up grade trade ins from ins. companies.
on the way out he shows me 2 55 gal plastic barrels full of alu heat sinks, tells me he has more heat sinks in boxes, so on the way out he opens a couple of fairly small boxes in for stacks about 5 ft hi. inside are the most beautiful ALL COPPER 4 IN BY 4 IN BY 4 in. HEAT SINKS.
we go to the house and into what used to be a walk in closet, passing box after box of 250 and 400 gig hard drives. we get to the back room and here are more stacks of hard drives and copper heat sinks. then he shows me his computer it is 5 ft high by 2 1/2 feet across and between 3 and 4 feet deep. I have no earthly Idea what else is there.
turns out he was a computer tech for several insurance compamies, and I dont me uncle ****s insurance agency down on the corner. he said he spent most of his work time in Des Moines , Omaha, Dallas and Huston. he now works as a syber spook, he make systems un hackable, and detects where attacks are coming from. These companies are always offering him computers by the palet load.
he said he knows what copper and alu are worth but he would allow me a profit just to handle it
he wasent too keen on my price for the computers, but did admit they are out of date even tho they work and dosent really want the hastle of E bay or Craigs list.
Iv got to plan this one out very carefully suggestions ?
