    Diamond in the scrap pile?

    Going through my recent pickup and in the mix is an HP vectra 500 series business class PC.
    I can't find much on ebay as far as sold listings and the asking prices on similar equipment is astronomical especially the disk drives. Haven't done a whole lot of research yet but for now it's tools down.
    I'll grab some pics and get the exact model tomorrow.

    Check them out for operation and do research on parts including working MoBo's on some towers can do well. I should say good enough for me. I personally don't have a market for towers so I tend to sell the parts once I verify they work. 73, Mike
