    Turning a $15 tower from the auction into some nice profit.

    I baught 4 of these towers last month at the auction to experment with parting them out. I think Ill buy a few more next month. They were dell optiplex 330.
    Dell Optiplex Mini Tower 320 330 730 745 755 305W Power Supply NH493 L305P 01 | eBay $9 + $10 shipping
    Dell Optiplex 740 745 755 320 330 Tower Front Faceplate Bezel Cover KJ313 R6760 | eBay $5
    Dell Optiplex Audio USB I O Panel and Cable TP004 CN312 HU391 | eBay $6.50
    Dell Optiplex 330 SMT Motherboard LGA775 KP561 Tested 5704327684770 | eBay $36
    TS H653 Toshiba Samsung DVD Writer SATA Drive Black P N 530413 001 DVDRW | eBay $10 + $6 shipping
    SLA8Z Intel Pentium Dual Core E2160 1 80GHz LGA775 Computer Processor | eBay $12 + $2 shipping
    ATI Radeon HD 2400XT 256MB PCI E Video Card Dell FM351 Tested | eBay $8.50

    After fees and shipping costs I turned a $15 unit into about $65 profit in parts sold on ebay. Not to mention the rest of it as scrap. I would say I have about an hour of time invested in plugging in each computer to make sure it boot up then tearing them all down taking a picture than posting the itms for sale. Cant wait for this months auction. Hope to buy about 10 to part out this month.

    This was an item I bought from the CU bolder auction. I originaly purchased it to part out as well but thought I would try to sell it whole first since it was SFF (small form factor). Im glad I sold it whole. I paid $20 for this one.
