They used to love to get their hands on the Sun 4 VME stuff. They would
start drooling at the site of those large Fujitsu SPARC chips. No idea
if there was much gold in them or not actually. I would think a VME
backplane would have more gold content then any chips. Probably why Sun
4 boxes are pretty much impossible to find anymore.
