A nice ewaste load

Just picked up this load a few days ago. Took two pick-up loads to bring it all back. About 20 large Dell severs (80+ pounds each), 25-30 towers, boxes of parts (not shown), tape library, some telecom boxes, 100-150 lbs wire, some switches, etc, etc. Paid $450 for all. Already dismantled most of it, so far about 160 lbs boards, 11 lbs RAM, lots of CPU's (some ceramics), a few good resale parts, 100 lbs aluminum, wire, tin, etc. Will be an easy $1000 clean profit on this lot. I'm very happy!

Unfortunately not, it was a Pentium III. But there was 1 486, 1 gold cap IBM, a couple of AMD ceramics, and one ceramic Intel i960 on one of the cards in one of the servers.

Everything is broken down now, took 2 days with some good help.
I already got rid of the cases, barely fit on the truck.

Here is roughly how it will work out:
1400 lbs tin/shred $100 - already taken to the yard
180 lbs high grade boards - $720
11 lbs RAM $165
~8 lbs slot CPU's $96
misc ceramic CPU's $40
other CPU's $15
100 lbs Aluminum $60
350 lbs power supplies $105
wire - haven't sorted or weighed yet maybe $100 or so?
batteries and transformers (from UPS) $25

resale parts:
2 tape drives currently bid to $100 on ebay
some hard drives $50
some apple keyboards and mice $40
5.25" floppy drive $15
misc. resale parts $50


TOTAL: $1681.

Definitely a nice score!

You should be able to break down the UPS further I have started doing it because I would rather make .40 cents per lb instead of .23 for UPS units whole, and besides most of the weight is in the transformer

You will do well with the servers. Congrats
