What I did find though was that things changed circa 2003 (and I was in the
UK then, so perhaps it was different elsewhere) and companies got paranoid
about data theft - it suddenly became a lot more difficult to get hardware,
and next to impossible to get anything with the drives still intact.

Yesterday I heard somebody on this list scored an
Xserve G5 and 5TB
Xserve RAID being junked. If you've ever used this kind of gear ...
that's kind of a nice deal. :)

It might be nice, but keep in mind how old that is, and I hear drives are
getting harder to source. Great for hobbyists, not so great for businesses.
