My wife's gonna kill me

I have 71 computers in my kitchen.




But it's the 340 in my living room that are gonna set her off,

If you put the mirror in front of them they would be hard to notice. LOL
Nice score

suggestion: get to work lol

I think that does compute, though....

Get to work! I hope you didn't fill the doghouse with more, though. Depending on your wife, you may need that area....

Awesome score!

Pretty simple plan... same as the onesy-twosy finds, just 411 times.

No hard drives, though... well, just one so far & I'm not sure if PTS buys that type. Haven't busted into the optiplexes yet, but they're pretty old.

Ahh, she's good. Those little green pieces of paper smooth over a lot of inconveniences.

These little ones I have standing on top of the stacks are a huge PITA. The side covers just aren't cooperating. Once I get them off it's cake, but they put up a pretty good fight.

Those look like GX270s. If so, they'll use an IDE hard drive. I'm not aware of any buyers for them. If they're GX280s, though, a lot of them ran SATA HDDs.

Bought. Still under $5 apiece into them with purchase, tax, and renting the uhaul to get them all at once. Not gonna get rich with it, but I think I'll clear a few bucks.

Funny thing: that was 5 pallets. I could've quite likely got 5 more at similar prices had I been willing to bite off that much. I guess these depressed prices have finally shaken out the weak. I must admit, I haven't pursued things nearly as hard at these prices. A couple years ago here, and those lots would have gone for at LEAST 10 bucks per computer. Probably 15.

A few years ago, those may have been refurbishable. Now, though, they're scrap machines.

Check for really large hard drives, and 1GB sticks of RAM. Some buyers will still pay for those items, boosting the value. As long as your shipping isn't too bad, I think you'll do fine. You may never want to see another GX270, though....

I wondered how I would make out when I bought that truckload at .14 a lb but I'm still cashing in stripped power supplies and other misc. I know I cleared over 300 on a $105. investment.

Good job on a great load.

Congrats on the score, at least you piled them up nice and neat, that has to count for something

Also, nice set up on the post, I was jealous when I saw the kitchen...I almost spat coffee on my keyboard when I saw the living room. Hope your wife doesn't spit too much on you during your explanation...

Thanks for sharing your home e-porn! At least they are stacked neetly she has to give you that. Great score!
