    Take your time and investigate what you have before destroying anything. 73, Mike
    ^^ What he said. A couple years ago I picked up a pallet of computers. I set aside a few that looked different. But that's all I did was set them aside. I ended up scrapping them before doing any research. After they were scrapped, I looked them up and 2 were still valued around $500 each (working ones). They were Alienware gaming computers with all-in-one cooling systems. The cases alone were selling for $100. I'm still kicking myself in the ass for that one. And now I look through what I have BEFORE I destroy.
