Satellite and cable t.v. DVRs

I have been getting a lot of DVR's lately that have Hard drives ranging between 160gb to 500gb. They are a great source of hard drives for the computers i rebuild. Just a tip for anyone that didn't know. Not sure what grade the boards are but im saving those up too.

there are a few links for recent posts floating around. I'm finishing my tear down of about 300+ receivers/dvr's and i think the boards are mainly high grade (not the p/s boards). Only a small percentage had hard drives, but it was a nice bonus, plus all the access cards with the little gold squares add a tiny bit more. None of mine had power cords, but still a good deal for me. good luck with yours!

anyone with a stack of access cards let me know, i havnt gotten my hands on any dvr boves yet , do you get paid green motherboard grade for the main board or is it a lower grade board?
