    missed value in Sun servers

    for those who don't know, Sun servers use pinless processors the processor is very low value on gold because of it's content weight ratio. but, between the processor and the gold checker board it sets on is one clear Mylar square that looks like a silver square.

    most important there is also a brown looking board that looks like it is worthless, it isn't. look at it through a magnifying glass and it contains tiny little gold springs (half a gram worth) haven't tested them yet so don't know if they are plated or pure.

    "anyone who thinks scrappin is easy money ain't doin it right!"

    They are plated olddude and they take a lot to make any real money on. I like sun servers for all the Ta caps on them. you are right about the pinless CPUs are junk.
