    Awesome score, just had to brag about this one.

    My wife has been kicking the pc scrapping business into high gear. She officially quit her job and she is now doing this full time. Before it was just myself on the side.

    Well today she came across an awesome score!

    Were still tallying everything up but here is the rough numbers and what we paid.

    37 towers, 486 - Pentium 3 range ( 4 missing processors )
    box of mother boards with 486 processors
    4 large box's of wire
    4 large box's of finger cards
    1 pound 14.6 oz's of gold cap and 486 processors
    tons of misc keyboards (clicky ones!!!, mice, network equip and other things)
    2 laptops
    5 scanners
    6 printers
    ( More to come were still unpacking )





    Total cost



    1 pound 14.6oz's of gold caps and 486's - $25
    The rest - $150.00

    total cost $175.00!!!!! + 2 old p4 machines i had. It was a down on their luck church and i offered to donate them.


    Edit,
    Forgot to add also. We have about 50 CRT's to pick up from this load also. We just didn't have room for them. Going back next week for them.

    Nice score. Something about working for yourself makes it ok to work 7 days a week and not mind a bit.
