    more telcom boards?

    I have an oppertunity to buy a lot of these. About a Gaylord full. Do these look like telecom. They have the telephone like ports on the sides. They don't look heavily populated. What would you pay for them. http://i1147.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMAG0476.jpg

    ok it's about time I asked someone, what on earth is a gaylord?
    i'm picturing some guy with a hairy chest, big moustache and lots of gold bling wearing a white fluffy robe on a harley.

    Use the search function! ;-)


    A large box, usually reinforced corrugate sitting on a skid/pallet, 4x4x4 or so that will need to be lifted by a hi-lo when full. Some are plastic with the "skid" built in. Took me a while to figure that out.

    oh yes, I know now, a cardboard box on skid, cool, gaylord it is then
    I been picking up the odd plastic skid, great to keep things off the ground, I want a pallet jack aventually, that will be handy to move about the place but yeah, an up/down thingy would be real handy.

    From what I'm seeing I think it would be a mid-grade. Unless there's something good hiding under the heat sinks (like cpu's) then the grade would go up.

    I would guess there are FPGA's under the heat sink (no gold) and not CPU's like server boards.

    I could be wrong, but I'm relatively certain there are PM's including gold in the FPGA chips

    You are correct, but not like a Pentium Pro. Also most FPGA's have balls and not pins, so even less gold there. They do cost a lot though.... I wonder if they are Xilinx or similar and if there is any demand. They can get removed and re-balled if they were working.

    That looks very much like a router card, about $4 a pound
