figgured its about time for an update: looks like we lost the hard drives, not definate yet, but it appears they would rather pay another co. $500,000 to take the drives rather then sell them to us. hmmm me thinks I smell some payola here. however the conselation prize was 10 cases of new never opend hard drives. (wont men diddly to me but my partner loves it.) also it looks like we may get the servers free since under their contract with the provider they dont own them, and the providers dont want them back. so actual ownership is up in the air every one concerned just wants them goneand sence our client is spending $ 40,000,000 with their provider they left the option up to our client.
the next change is that origionaly we had to scrap all the servers or lease them, we couldnt sell them, good for me right , that has also changed. my partner was given permission to dispose of them any way he wants, which means he can sell them. He is a hoarder and an IT guy so what do ya think hes gonna do.
Out of the 2 pallets we got, I got 6 servers to scrap so far. there is some good news tho all six were monsters they weighed over 800 lbs they are 2002 IBM GSA approved for military use, aparently our cliant is a military contractor. most every thing including the power supplys are operated by huge finger cards. I have scrapped 3 so far and have about 60 lb of finger cards. the processors (there are 2 each) are about 3 inches by 3 inches but solderd to the boards.
Ineedsome info on these from you ewaste buyers, how do I handle these processors , remove them or sell the whole board ? cant send pictures as Im still on my daughters lap top.
