New Hard Drive Wiping Cabinet I'm working on

you know...I have been trying to sell 2 compaq 48U racks with no luck so far...**** things are 7' tall....I actually got some similar servers like the ones you have in yours from the same place that are dual xeons.....I might just keep one of the **** racks instead of scrapping it and build a super hard drive wiper like the one you have...if I filled it up, I could probably handle 150-200 drives at a pop...LOL

Best part is all of them cost ZERO $$$$$

Yeah, that's the good thing about cleaning out businesses sometimes. I have a corner with things I think might be useful in the future. This is some of that stuff. I gutted the servers to bare-bones to just load up the wiping software..not planning on running a datacenter here anytime soon

yeah I think I have several of the same servers...some Dell EMC2 and some dual Xenon ones for the SCSI hard drives....I have have like 2 boxes of the hot swappable drive cages LOL....I need to sell some of those I guess...I am thinking I might just pair down to a 18U rack or so where I can have it on the "tech bench" instead of a 7 FOOT TALL monstrosity.

I am actually building a tech bench where I can test processors, ram ect. Got some really cool ideas of it by using some slide out cubbies which will have test bench cases (ie open cases for quick change). I can get my hands on so many processors through a guy I know, I need to test some processors to make sure I can pay him what I am paying him for them....he is talking 300-1000 POUNDS A MONTH!

Ugh i wouldn't want to test that many processors ever, let alone every month. I have a test bench just for motherboards, but haven't really wanted to go further yet. I do have a RAMCHECK tester, but the highest module I have is DDR1. I don't use it very often though.

I also have put together a mobile cart for computer triage when they come in.

I strapped an LCD to the top, a couple power strips, a 20 foot extension, all the cables, drives, adapters, network stuff etc that I need to check out a pc pretty quick. It doesn't have the red cage in front, just a base where I can put a computer if I want. Just have all the cables hanging in the right spot to be able to choose and plug-in.
