    Good Day Finds

    The County I live in has some electronic drop off sites. One of my managers at work is married to one of the County maintenance guys. While I was talking to him one day, he told me to go take whatever I want. Said they have to pay to get rid of it, and other people do it too. So I have only been by there twice since we had that talk about a month ago. I went by today and it was filled with small appliance type stuff. I didn't really see any PCs to grab, but i did see an Executone phone system sitting there.





    So I was pretty excited to get that. I also still have a bunch of computers to break down that I got from a local repair shop. I decided to scrap out and old HP server today. Not sure of the age, but it was a real plain looking cabinet. This is what I got from it:






    That's both sides of the same memory rack (for lack of a better term)







    Unfortunately those gold CPUs are soldered to the board. I may have to sell that one on eBay.

    Any suggestions on what I should remove, if anything, from those telecom boards would be a big help. I'm not sure what those copper capped things amid all the small transformers are. I think I read though that some of you pull of some of the transformers and capacitors to get an upgrade on price.

    I haven't been scrapping much latley. Was feeling kind of bored with it recently. I have to say though that today turned that around for me.
    Copper, brass, and Leather. 3 of my favorite things.
