That's cool!  Speaking of "scrapping", me and a couple of co-workers visited
the local scrap dealer yesterday.  Besides just junk, you would not believe
the number of computers/servers he has stored up.  I saw a pallet....yep, a
pallet loaded with 1U rack servers branded with Sun Microsystems. There was
so much computer junk scattered about, desktops, laptops, servers, parts, etc.
Someone could start a small data center with what I saw.

Anyway, we found a few items we will be talking with him about. This is for
work, mind you.

Thanks!
