The spoils of scraping old hardware

I just sat down to clean off all the thermal grease from CPUs I've been collecting from scraping old hardware. It's kind of wild seeing it all laid out like this. Some interesting ones here. Mostly xeons. 

 

Uploading for entertainment value. I'll provide a detailed list of what they all are once they're clean enough to tell. 

 

Most of these were pulled from multi CPU servers. If you're interested I'll show the buckets of RAM as well. 

 

What kind of interesting collections do you have?

You could sell them on Ebay and get rich. Just saying lol.

Have you tried turning it off and on again? Maybe Restart it? 

Please make sure to Mark the Solution as a Solution.

Take everything I say with a grain of salt. I could be just about wrong as I am right.

At least keep some of them. They will probably become more valuable later on.
