I’m watching this from Toronto, Canada right now. Tonight its going down to -15 Celsius, with windchills making it feel like -23. And we haven’t seen green vegetation since September and won’t see it again until April. It’s hard to watch people enjoying warm weather at this point in the year.

Most Scrap Yards have an Area were You bring Your Batteries - all kinds of Batteries and they pay You for it ! That was a Brilliant Stripping Session of the Blade Server and You found heaps and Heaps of Goodies - You have Explained it to us so very well - thank You - now go inside into the A/C have a cold Shower and get Yourself a Cold Beer or Two - ha ! Keep Safe and many Cheers from us in QLD !

Low Voltage Ram sticks are more expensive and harder to find than the regular server ram. There's an "L" in the part number so instead of PC3 it will say PC3L. i had to learn the hard way with my dell R410 server - i bought the wrong ram and the system would crash for no reason. you may be able to sell low voltage ram on ebay if you find it.

[@jaspcardoso8]

Hey man, your content is great, you're my fav ewaste scrapper. I miss the marathons videos, of you moving things around, cutting wires, going to deliver the scrap. I was subbed to you after the 2 hour marathon videos, bring them back hahaha

[@scrappydoo7887]

Cool beans 👍 nice work ben

[@brissyboy7164]

This was a cool server scrap lots of goodies inside ................ Thumbs Up

[@sharkscrapper]

Big server scraps can be so much fun. But OMG they can be heavy. I've had to begin scrapping some in my truck after they were loaded by a forklift just to get down to components I could move around.

[@shaneyork300]

It'd be cool to know what the gold recovery would be in this unit! Have a Great Day My Friend!!

[@rkb6783]

OLD SCHOOL GOLD ! in a modern video...

[@PoorMiners321]

wow i like your collection sir thanks for sharing your very very nice stuff, God bls

[@lfurches]

I used to work just down the road from SAS headquarters in RTP (Research Triangle Park) North Carolina, USA Back then they were new kids on the block! lol Ms, Chicken Scrapper Channel

[@michaelsadventures4261]

I wish I could get something like that for scrap.

[@------country-boy-------]

ya the trap doors are to prevent air pressure from escaping if a fan is removed during a hot swap repair procedure. the air flow has more resistance traveling through the server then a big hole beside the remaining fans. then the server can run on the remaining fans without a service interruption until a new fan can be replaced.

[@MikesTropicalTech]

You're breaking my heart! I worked in the IBM Linux group and wanted a BladeCenter for my home server setup...

[@peterg.8245]

5kW for less compute power than a single modern processor?

[@liblevi45s53]

They're interesting but this old type isn't worth it. Hardware is pushing 11-14 years old now and the power consumption to performance is not worth keeping it at all. It was definitely powerful tech at the time though. You can buy servers now that have as many cores and a memory capacity as one or more of these systems fully populated.

[@MikesTropicalTech]

@@peterg.8245 Now yes, but back in the day...

[@harryverboom4032]

Great machine another item i keep my eyes open for

[@davidhauschild5584]

In the states that would bring $8/10 lb . The gold pins are 18k on older IBM’s

[@garlandinman4849]

Multiple everything for redundancy Ben. I wish I could find some servers to play with.

[@Tris289]

You can't anymore. People like this strip them down, even the servers that are salvageable.

[@PeterMilanovski]

The problem isn't that it's to old, it's actually not old enough!! That machine looked like it still had plenty life in it as a home server for someone, I started with something like this but sold it to someone else who loved what they were capable of for their age, the server I now have used to run a hospital in Melbourne... Runs completely off solar and batteries for overnight. But some of those machines like the one that you just took apart are worth more as an investment over time... Who woulda thought that a ford XY falcon GT would ever fetch over a million dollars?

[@geoffupton]

i personally hate those servers! (they gave me a blumin hernia!) but its nice to actually see whats inside them! im guessing the gopro is above its max working temp (about 25 degrees i think) so i'd be careful as there's a slim chance of the battery popping! take care and stay cool! 😊🍺🍺🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@markmitchelloldmanprospect3969]

very nice scrap

[@ReTho76]

These are not RAMBUS memory modules. Just strait DDR SD-RAM. Heatsinks are no indication for RAMBUS since DDR RAM uses them also, especially on higher frequencys.

[@wghead]

Good video! Would love to get one of those to scrap out!

[@davidlee1719]

The painless CPUs can have nice gold foil under the heatsink caps. Not all, but I have found roughly 50 percent to be the average. Just pop them off with a vice.

[@southaussiegarbo2054]

Currently been working at scrapping out electric motors for scrap copper. Est 1.5kg ×5 is some good cha ching

[@michaelbrumfitt]

👍great video I only watched the last server video last night,this one gave up the goods I hope you manage to sell the ram👍

[@jamesfarr2398]

So, Ben, when it all said and done, how much money do you think you will get for the scrap from this server?

[@RafalScrapper]

self pins are cool looking and as well they are not soldered in they just pushed thru so very clean material to work on later on all rest looks great too nice score of 100kg device👍 😀👍 basically was four servers in one case

[@leslarsen5903]

Hello from Montana Ben. It is winter here, my slow time of the year. I watch your marathon videos while I scrap, keep them coming! Here, so far, you have to pay to get rid of lithium batteries so I am just hanging onto them for now. Might take a few to the shooting range.

[@RoeMantic]

Your gonna hit 100k soon friend! Hope all is well down under!

[@BruteClaw]

With everything going virtual and the ability to run multiple operating systems on the same hardware, a lot of schools here in the US are acquiring older enterprise class hardware in order to modernize their networks. So this being one from around 15 -20 years ago was either a donation for a corporation after it reached it's end of useful life at said corporation or the school purchased it used at a good price. Then it was passed on to you because no one but maybe a home enthusiast would want it at this point.

[@justincarlson2548]

Love your videos man

[@bigredbullion3883]

Awsome video

[@ifindmetal]

If you only knew a guy with tons of scrap circuit boards that had heatsinks you could modify the go pro with 🤔

[@tawnihaynie1065]

Good day Ben. Tell "Poopie" hello. Once again a good video. Please stay safe and healthy and take care of yourself and your family. Ttyl my friend. ☺☺☺😇😇😇

[@greekgods3399]

love it

[@stephaniejacob9293]

Good morning from southern Wisconsin USA snowing hard and 1 degree farenheit right now

[@PaulJamesMuldoonGYST]

Xeon 5690's are worth $100. People buy them to upgrade 4,1/5,1 Mac Pro' s. Even the 5680's are decent $.

[@elliottr6213]

You should try to repurpose one of those servers for your house.

[@ZoonCrypticon]

Was exactly my thought as well. And with so many harddrives, which he always finds, he could build up Peta- or even Exabytes of storage capacity. With the waste heat of such a server-system he could warm up his daily shower-water.And earn money with the server.

[@dmitriyd.8295]

👍👍👍

[@ethanbeard8811]

Hello ewaste Ben awesome video you must scrap alot of electronics through the day?

[@msylvain59]

So much gold, it is a little bit like scrapping Aladdin's cave.

[@jbmnanu9694]

Well well

[@jbmnanu9694]

Well well

[@JohnnySwedishScrapper]

another great 1 h ;) great video

[@varveyok533]

Do you refine gold from like goldfingers or gold band oscillators?

[@momandsonscrapchannel541]

👌👌👌

[@RoeMantic]

My buyer calls them butterfly servers. Keep Scrapping!

[@paulbeaulieu7561]

Hey Ben how are you? Just want to ask if your following what’s going on with silver? If so what if any plans do you have?

[@wolfmanjackal1427]

Hey Ben I am curious what your estimate is on this as a whole and I've been bit by the scrapper bug but live in a small apartment. Any suggestions?

[@ethanbeard8811]

Your chickens like to help you scrap stuff out to

[@13cracker23]

How do you get so much e-scrap? Do you have people call you to come pick it up? Or is it all dumpster diving?

[@davidfilley2321]

Another great job! Any update on the garage?

[@andrewcannon587]

can u pipe some heat up here? it's freezing -16C here

[@barrywest3758]

Nice scrap Ben. As high as copper prices are wouldn't it be wise to clean those heat sinks for tinned and candy copper? Just wondering. I really enjoyed 👍👍 Oh, I see you fired the photo bombing chook! LOL

[@paulmonteleone5989]

Ben When will we get a chance to see the face with the Voice

[@dimwittflathead639]

Front led panel

[@Chahbrah]

Nice server just copped a hp dl380p g7 server for free want to pimp it out and make a gaming server out of it

[@stevesmusic1862]

Would you consider sending to NZ? Id love to buy CPUs off you

[@franklinneely3006]

Camera didn't like the heat lmao

[@dimwittflathead639]

Everywhere except USA

[@Bugatti-rh1ds]

Push on the B, check wat happened in the Netherlands, last few days, look like war 💡💡🤔🤔🤔🙏🙏🙏👀👀👀

[@dannyhartline2648]

The winged rats are irritating!

[@volkhen0]

GoPro cameras like Hero 7 are shit. I tried many SD cars which work in my friend’s DJI and it freezes even in normal temperatures and even under water where cooling is best. Without any waterproof cover so water is cooling camera perfectly! I wish I bought DJI.
