That was a cool scrap. I love the unusual stuff - really helps to break up the "same ole, same ole."

[@tawnihaynie1065]

Hi Ben. Great video my friend, great education. Please keep up the good work. Please take care and stay safe. To all members also. ☺☺☺😇😇😇

[@jmonsted]

I'm quite late to this seeing this video, but the big box marked "Silkworm" is a fibre channel switch used to connect hard drives to servers. The rest of the components appear to be a Fujitsu mainframe (a server, but on steroids). It would probably connect to another disk system (several fridge-sized racks) through the Silkworm switch. The hard drive unit is out of one of those fridge-sized disk systems from Hitachi, but it's only a single piece of a giant thing. The full thing would hold 256 or 512 hard drives per rack, if i remember correctly. I've worked with many of these things and i'd guesstimate you've got somewhere between $200,000 and $500,000 worth of hardware there...

Really cool and certainly not something most people come across very often, so thank you for sharing👍👍😊

[@jig6894]

When you said "it's not all about you" to your chicken, it took a moment for me to stop laughing 😂😂😂

[@Dav3Campb3ll]

Neat to see one of these scrapped out Lots to learn with sorting I hope I find one one day Great video

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Nice Ben! Took me a few days to get through this one! 😀

[@PoorMiners321]

this is what i'm waiting for, scrapping on the last video white van loaded with nice electronic materials, really realy COOL stuff.

[@Bugatti-rh1ds]

always nice to see yours video, every day too

[@escrapchannel]

That’s for the weekend ... man! I can’t resist watching it in the office ... 😃 🌟 👍 If I get fired - your fault 😛

[@ErikZarth]

People wonder why server equipment costs so much. Just look at the quality of the parts and build and you see why.

[@dalecrary8738]

Great video, love the marathon scrapes. Keep it up. Thanks

[@rogers491]

Love the 🐔

[@geofffalbo5900]

That Silkworm back plane board (1:21:56) would be nice to keep, it would look good hanging on a wall as a showpiece. The dozens and dozens of gold pins look extremely impressive.

[@brissyboy7164]

That was fun to watch , it must have been a very impressive system to see when it was running ....................... Thumbs Up

[@shanesuthy]

ace scrap

[@christopherleubner6633]

That thing cost tens of thousands of dollars when it was new. Next time save the boards with the gold fiber optics modulators on them, those are worth a fortune.

[@greekgods3399]

love it

[@RafalScrapper]

nice sesion awesome scrap i did enjoy stay well out there 👍

[@TechCellfish]

Looks like the same controllers are in the 3Par T400. Pull part of the handle to unlock and slide oout the node.

[@josephcormier5974]

Thank you great video very informative two thumbs

[@gogogo9427]

Another great video also love the pick up videos you do

[@A80502133]

Lovely scrap! As a cpu-collector (and general nerd), every detail counts, as with model numbers and other specs. If you can, please try to show the label on ram-sticks, cpus and other circuits up to the camera, just for a few seconds holding them still. Then those being extra curious can pause the clip, google part-numbers or other details on the chips. And possibly feedback into the comments on more detail. Thanks from Sweden!

[@ellascyprus6184]

love the chicken

[@shaneyork300]

Have you thought about sending 100 grams or whatever weight you choose of the Gold Ban Crystal Oscillators to a good backyard refiner to have the knowledge of grams per kilo you can get from them? You are the only person I know that would have kilos of them.

[@judybeckner9047]

Awesome scrap Ben, Thanks

[@JohnnySwedishScrapper]

53:50 realy awsome collor on that one ;) yummy server to scrap woow ;)

[@joesask857]

thanks man

[@wayneday3916]

Very nice video fun to watch. G/F says nice shoes lol.

[@thunderfeetx9280]

Awesome video

[@gabrielmaligeorges4362]

NIce episode Ben!

[@sebrassino]

Great to hear you have more pick ups planned! Since the slow down in the lockdown it's great it's picking up again. Good luck! And if you have the spare time and motivation, it would be awesome to follow how it's going!

[@attilavidacs24]

Damn that's a lot of SFP transceivers. Were they 1gbit or 10gbit transceivers?

[@elliecarpenter987]

if theyre 10gb hes sitting on a gold mine lmao

[@LilMilely]

Love these videos Thank you

[@barrywest3758]

Alright I've been waiting for a marathon, and boom! Really enjoyed Ben 👍👍

[@6Diego1Diego9]

this is like the opposite of watching eevblog

[@MickNailZ]

I scrapped one of those backplane boards and got 3 grams of gold from just the plates

[@richavic4520]

Not only a motherboard, but a father. A motherfatherboard.

[@luizCarlos-us1gv]

👏👏👏

[@jeannorris1510]

👍

[@patprop74]

8:30 looks like those servers are for running j.a.r.v.i.s. it says it right there on the board, for Ironman only. TFF 42:40 Most of those little cards seems to have all SMD parts which mean it would be rather easy to depopulate them in one go in a hot sand bath.

[@zdog959]

Good evening

[@adelba3300]

man ,what the hell only it man like me knows about these stuff ,those are fiber cards and the modules name are gbic ,you know how much expensive those are ,thats really waste when youre going to scarp it

[@Addeatt]

This type of stuff really has no re-sale value only scrap value?

[@prospectorpete]

Did u want me to refine just one of those gold covered chips to see exactly how much gold is in each one

[@McCuneWindandSolar]

If only you can see what the fiber madules are if they are at 11:04 might beable to make some money out of them if they are 1gb or 10gb fiber optic modules

[@davidranew9776]

Great Video Ben Keep Bringing The Video's Dude Nice Server's👍👍

[@JonaDes]

11:00 those slot-things can be worth a lot of money :)

[@Pujan_Patel_4899]

Ya , only one sfp module cost $10-$100

[@seedhoumanmadani2482]

Hurray 😉🙏

[@McCuneWindandSolar]

I wonder what type those 8 gig server ram sticks are, if they are ddr 2 or 3.

[@elliecarpenter987]

theyre ddr3, i was able to make out PC312800 on them which is ddr3 1600mhz

[@McCuneWindandSolar]

@@elliecarpenter987 heck I have a server they would have worked great in I could have used them to upgrade the 2GB DDR3 1600mhz I have in it now.

[@elliecarpenter987]

@@McCuneWindandSolar and for the price of ram right now he is taking a huge loss by scrapping it rather than selling it

[@richardroyles1423]

God bless. Kansas

[@theresefreeland3762]

They are hiding the screws again.

[@350lele]

Olá!!!! Você compra esses aparelhos?

[@BushyB]

G'day Ben.

[@stephenheaps7978]

Hi Ben I know you collect the gold pins and fingers for future gold recover , but can you sell them as they are? Thanks

[@eWasteBen]

Yes there's lots of people looking to buy the pins

[@marcrj8111]

Are you seeing more server system replacements recently (past year or two)?

[@eWasteBen]

Yeah it seems so, but servers become obsolete quickly

[@johnross8939]

Ben, what models and TBs are those 40 SAS drives?

[@claudioxavier9417]

Este equipamento faz parte de qual sistema ? Telefonia ?

[@waynerichards3490]

The foreman has come to check your work she need a little ewaste Ben hard hat

[@chrisbowen2026]

Hi Ben. I am looking to buy some toroidal transformers & capacitors for a project. Do you sell things direct to the public & how do I go about contacting you?

[@eWasteBen]

email in the description of my videos

[@mareecathie2476]

Ben, I love your videos but do you know what I really like? You're kind to all animals. I even remember when you had a neighbours' cat visit. That tells me all I need to know about you. The rest is window dressing.

[@chrislessig5277]

When will u do more street scrapping then go to scrap yard
