Ahh well unfortunately I ended up being out when they both sold, might end up with something completely different though if I can convince the missus - there's a dell poweredge 733mhz with 1gig of ram selling for only $30! There's some crazy folks out there.

Its RAM alone is worth more than $30 (closer to $100 depending on which type). How hard can it be to sell her on that?

Yeah ECC SDRAM sells for about $20-$25 per 256mb so the ram alone in it is $80-$100. It's actually standard for the boxs to sell under the value of their ram alone, you could make a small fortune by merely buying them and taking them apart and selling all the parts seperately, if you time was worth nothing that is, else it becomes a rather fiddly & wasteful venture.

I think I'll do the ole hey missus we can buy this, take out half the ram and keep the box whilst making a profit for shopping. ;)
