Any surgestion on this would be nice

How much room do you have to store and break down? Do you have a workshop/warehouse? Do you have a forklift. If you answered yes to these questions then I would just break everything down and put everything in seperate gay lords,mobo's,finger bo, pci cards, cd/dvd drives, power suply, then get with a buyer from the forum and make arangments for shipping. I wouldn't break down the drives or the power suplies to save time. Save the ribbon cable for latter and have the ladies cut the connectors off after you have the computers broke down.Nobody will come down on you if you keep them on the pallets and inside, if you leave them out side then someone might report you(out of sight-out of mind) That's how my friend got find big time(for storing electronics out side on the ground and someone reported him to the city). Anyway thats a good buy, I wish I could get a call like that. Good luck and let us know how things turn out for you. Happy scrappin.

Oh man, I would kill for a load like that. You pay shipping and I might be able to help you out. (buy some possibly) :) If I were you, I would try to get a big dumpster for the shred and some gaylords for the boards and try to flip em as fast as possible.

hi,do you want to sell some? what is your location?shipping would kill us maybe,i am in mass 01952,ed.

Go to harbor freight buy some large tarps and cover everything up, if you shred or sell it off you are losing a great thing. With 3 employees you should be able to finish all that within 2 weeks get started!

Contact easy recycle, he's in TX, maybe ha can offer some assistance/ideas

He's only ~60 miles from you. 200 ish from me.

So, Matt- if you feel you're overwhelmed, I can come down Sunday with a Ford F150, a 4x8 trailer, and enough cash to fill them both at 4 bucks a tower if you're interested. I'm dead serious.

Let me be clearer/specific. I'll come Sunday with $400 folding cash, and take 100 towers off your hands. I have plans Sunday, but they'll understand if I break them for something like this.

PM me if you want to take me up on that.

*EDIT* And I'll come every Sunday thereafter with the same deal til you tell me to stop coming.

I was serious about seeing if I could buy 100-150 of his computers also. Anyway, I PM'd him and he said that he has broken them down already and is looking for an ewaste buyer (As he said in his other thread).

He broke down over 4000 computers in two days? I would like to know how he did that.

I would suggest letting easyrecycle (in Little Elm) and HLH&R (in Waxahatchie) bid on it, and see how that goes. There's another guy in Mesquite... ddelatorre? Something like that. Three bidders should give ya an idea who's who.

I think he's in Houston, even though his tag says San Antonio.

Interesting thread... I'm thinking that with 5000-ish computers, TRANSPORTATION would be the issue I needed help with... not breakdown, storage, selling, etc. Interesting that OP had transport easily handled but the easy three issues were what he was requesting help with. :confused:

Great job breaking down all those in just 2 days with inexperienced help, too. Perhaps OP could share how he accomplished that?

4,000 units / 6 people /2 days =333.3333 units each for a n00b??? If they worked 12 hours day that 2.2 minutes per unit without any breaks ............................. I call BS.

I will second that...impossible

Any pictures, i would like to see what 5000 motherboards look like. At a pound each on average thats 2.5 tons, plus 5000 procesors plus all that ram. I would be looking to get it refined and not selling to a buyer. Just my .02

I believe ddlatore there in Mesquite has a processing facility, and will go either way with it, buy it outright or process agreement

I can't really see somebody having that large a load of computers at random, they either had been stacking up for years in a warehouse or something, meaning there must have been a large number of older, higher bearing boards in a load like that
