    What the heck did the boards from photo 4 come from? This is my opinion, and im not very good at grading boards, other than the obvious low and motherboard, ram, etc. Anyway, I would pull the gold pins off the first one, and toss the board in low grade. Second board, I would say high, or maybe even low telecom. Photo 4: I would try to sell them on ebay for gold recovery, if not, like super high grade, but idk. And last one would be finger boards. Idk about the heat sinks. I would leave them on to be safe.

    photo number 4 with gold pegs came from a server blade/sleeve. in this photo you will find them on the bottom right.Theres two in each one stacked on top of eachother. these are awesome servers. 8 1gb ram, 2 solid copper heatsinks including the fins 0.92 lbs ea, 2 AMD processors with gold pins covering the entire thing, multiple finger cards. notice the gold content on the one in the middle of the photo. Once everything is removed the mobo weighs 3.2 lbs. The greatest thing about these.... one of my computer guys who buy my towers gives these to me for free. Someone else he buys used towers from asked if he could turn them in for recycling. In the past he went to some recycler who took them for free. Now he gives them to me for swap. One tower per server blade. Ill take that trade anytime. In fact i have, over 30 times.

    Sweat is the cologne of success!
