    Gold plated server power supply connector

    Well I got bored and bought a server for $24 in an auction, of course I know thats way too much and Ill be cutting it close to break even. But I pulled the 2 power supplies and they both have these connectors on them which look to be gold plated.





    What do I do with this? I assume I should rip the connector out, but how do I sell it?

    At the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes--an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new. This is how deep truths are winnowed from deep nonsense. -- Carl Sagan

    It's still not showing.

    In your text box you will see at the top to the right of the A+, 5 icons over, the little icon of a picture. Click that and put your URL in the pop up box, that should do it.

    Yes they are gold plated, they call those redundant power supplies. Some look like like blades others will have a gold finger or solid strip of plating on them. On the bladed ones you will have to open the power supply and pull them off. On the fingered ones you can snap them off. Then after that you can sell them as power supplies like the ones from towers. I get .40# for those power supplies.
