I actually bought it over 25 years ago when I lived in Colorado & was pursuing a more geological gold recovery past-time.

Hell of a deal! Was given a box of just boards, ram, cpu chips, power supplies and a few laptop batteries for free. 44 towers, cost me $22. Gave me a heavy chunk of large copper cable they found in the parking lot and 2 battery back ups which one of them has to weigh close to 100lbs bc it took 2 of us to load it into the truck. I would say even though I paid $22 in cash for just the towers, they ended up being free with the weight in batteries alone on the back ups. One of the battery back ups has a 220V plug on it. Ive never seen that! Ill make that deal all day, every day!

i would die to get copper cable like that looks hard to cut into is the isulation hard? that would go as bare bright for sure if you stripped it that is. yeah most ups ones i have gotten battery is only worth 1$ but yours are gona be worth more im sure. nice stuff

Its 5kv cable according to a electrician I know.

Pics of inside that UPS and the laptop load from yesterday. Lots and lots of work to get done. Scrap prices on base metals are coming up, so its time to strip and sell quick!

It was a busy weekend, but we knocked out about 35 lap tops. Almost a entire 55 gallon barrel full of laptop mother boards, Over a pound of green fiber pinned CPUs, 2 pounds of ram, and 40+lbs of Li-ion batteries with lots of misc. wifi and other type boards. 2 of the laptops were pretty old and had AMD ceramic large socket CPUs in them, nice little extra bonus. We still have about 15 or so more lap tops to go and almost 50 towers. Its over 110 heat index here today, so I will work at night on them or bring what I can inside. Picked up two 15000 BTU window ac units today as well. Process, process, process!

I like your signature quote about profit Mike. Very true statement

Loving this thread. Your pictures have me smiling ear to ear. I miss those days!
