    If they invert ?DC into 110AC you could sell them for that purpose.

    If it turns out they're only good for scrap, you should pull all the aluminum for the best price. The copper windings usually go for about the same price as the board itself, so you could probably leave them right on the boards.
    There's nothing more fun and more effective than hitting something repeatedly with a sledgehammer
