This is one of the servers I was talking about in another thread. Well I broke it down tonight and here are the results. I paid $20 for this at an auction.
As you can see total weight of this unit was 97.7 LBS I put the power suplly next to it so you would have a frame of reference on its size.
Here are the 2 power supplies pulled from it for a total of 20.1 lbs
Main motherboard at 2.6 pounds
2 slot CPU's at 1.5 lbs
Back panel boards at 1.3 lbs
Finger cards at .7 lbs
wire at 1.1 lbs
Ram at 1.3 lbs
Hard drives at 6.2 lbs
Fans at 2 lbs
Prices as I know them from ewasted and local yard for the not worth shipping stuff.
20.1 pounds of power supplies $.20 = $4.02
2.6 pound server board $4.30 = $11.18
1.5 pounds of slot cpu (pricing these as finger cards) $4.30 = $6.45
1.3 pounds back panel (not sure on these prices but i think i got MB grade last time) $3.80 = $4.94
.7 pounds finger cards $4.30 = $3.01
1.1 pounds of wire $.97 = $1.06
1.3 pounds of ram $14.80 = $19.24
6.2 pounds of hard drives $1.10 = $6.82
2 pounds of fans $.20 = $.40
Total for about 15 minutes worth of break down and taking pictures = $57.12 I think thats well worth it to pay $20 for one of these big servers if they are all there like this one. GRanted this is total scrap value I am sure some of these parts can be sold on ebay for greater than scrap value. Hope this helps some of you out there on at least this type of server and what you can get out of it.
EDIT
I forgot the left over shred of 62 lbs for another $8.00 so total of $65
