But that being said, the collector (as in acquisitions) in me is interested to know how much it might be to ship the lot. But on the other hand I don't want to deny people who have an actual need for them. I suspect that the video cards and the hard drives are probably the more valuable parts. For a given value. /If/ I had such a stash and wanted to get rid of it, I'd inventory what I had and make it available for others to raise their hand if they are interested. I think that the drives would be worth more if they had been tested and you know that they work. E.g. run SpinRite level 4 against them. 3.3 and / or 5.0 volt PCI may also make a difference for some people. I definitely think there is a market. And that if you (or someone) is willing to put in a little effort, I'd expect that each of the components could move for $5-$25 (or maybe even more) plush S&H. But that's a time investment to get anything out of them and it sounds like the real value in them to you is the space they are occupying / will be vacating. -- Grant. . . . unix || die
