wow love the Scrapathon Ben great video wish it was longer. and yes plz let's do a Cisco Scrapathon. thanks for all the hard work you do for you and your videos. plz keep them coming
Loving the scrapathons Ben, Ive just been doing the same but with the little stuff, my workshop is full of the nightmare little stuff🙈 I enjoyed seeing the transfer station, my my what a yummy electronics bin!!!
Two things I have always wondered: Ben, why don’t you get some young person to apprentice and process cable etc? Why don’t you get a workshop space / storage to process in?
Don't think his business is about escalation and making max profits. It's good just to do your own thing, not have a boss and not have any dependents to rely on you.
I love the content, love the discussions. What better way to spend an evening scrapping? Just feed me and share your cocktails. I will scrap your cables for free!! Where are the “Gooday Scappers tshirts??? Maybe a E-W8st Ben 10 piece torx set with no t10 included??? Keep scapin
Isilon = servers. I know because we use them at our hospital in NSW. We use them for storage. We already moving towards a new solution for bigger storage, as we have hundreds and hundreds of gb of data that needs to be accessed every day 24x7.
Ben those Isolon machines have these little chips or Sata memory like 2GB small one that Whys terminals use, If you see one of those plugged into the isolon motherboard save them, I sold 10 of those for $800.00 they are some type of special boot sata drive that is needed or the machines wont function properly, They are like gold nuggets if you find any. Im Steve in Virginia, Gold rec-lamer.
Nowadays, those hard drives are completely obsolete in data centres, as everyone moved over to Solid State nonvolatile memory express, that takes advantage of the PCI slot card, instead of the SATA or Scsi. Because, hard drives are so cheap even enterprise 1s many homelabs will have 'em and plenty of 'em but not data centre's. Those HP Proliant DL380p g7 2U actually sell pretty well online surprisingly in 2023, even those HP power supplies are cross-compatible with newer generations. If you find any blanks check as many sell decently well. You may see a server with 1TB of storage and think "Oh hey, that's not much today", but your forgetting that's 1TB of redundant storage that's capable of surviving drive failure's and continue onwards on the remaining drives due to it being a raid array. Servers are designed with redundancy and reliability in mind so storage capacity isn't important.
I have a curious question to ask from a video you made from a 5 hour marathon..... you mentioned in the video that you was gonna save up to buy a dump trailer to help with your business. I am wondering if you did finally get one for yourself????
I pick up a lot last week. A 2019 Cisco router working I think. Lots of NuCs too. I need to get rid of my scrap soon. What to swap a server for the Cisco, Ben?
Have you considered listing hard drives like those on local marketplaces after securely erasing them? Surely you can get at least a bit more than scrap value for them that way, assuming they don't contain anything sensitive.
most likely costs more in electricity to parse and secure erase a 1TB drive than it's own scrap value. Takes anywhere between 2-8 hours for a DBAN DoD erase with multiple parses. Don't think Ben's got the time or electricity costs covered to do that. Victoria is one of the worst electricity suppliers in Australia when it comes to costs.
Also just in general very often he scraps stuff that has significantly more value, not only fiscally but in application too. Those “smart cards” I’m pretty sure we’re ssds and those still have plenty of use and he just throws them in a pile where he probably gets a dollar for them (not sure scrap prices)
@@billywithak341 I believe those are SATA DOMs, and they do indeed have some value. It's all the extra work that comes with selling things that he doesn't have the time for I think.
Man how do you get all this volume? I have been scraping a long time and I rarely find this much good stuff. What can I do to get my hands this much volume of scrap? Might make a good video.
Ewaste ben had a great idea about cleaning out a hoarders stash so when one came up where I live I got 80 computers plus many other electronic goods. So many others got in before me so there would have been hundreds of computers there.
Porque você não separa as baterias das placas para reciclagem, e não deixa ela junto com os outros aços, tendo o risco de caírem no chão do ferro velho e contaminar o solo. Coloca em uma embalagem com tampa e depois leva para ser reciclada corretamente. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Chooks know more than you think they do..... I'm in awe of your knowledge...
I’m telling ya if I lived near this man I would love to work for him, I love taking things apart and can fly threw plugs like a mad man
Love the marathon videos the pickups people are so nice. I think a Cisco marathon would be great. Thanks Ben.
agree

Wohoo scrapathon, keep em coming they are great :)
Another great video Ben! Thank you. I always love seeing the chickens helping you.
Loving the scrapathons Ben, Ive just been doing the same but with the little stuff, my workshop is full of the nightmare little stuff🙈 I enjoyed seeing the transfer station, my my what a yummy electronics bin!!!
Even the chickens know where the value is.
Gold eggs
Pretty sure that chicken is magnetic.
That little blade there would have been $200k when it was new.
Thank you I needed a long scrap session nice two little pick-ups and a peep into a future video thank you sir for sharing this six stars
Busy weeks are good. I love being mentally and physically tired at the end of the day. Looking forward to what's next.
Great Video Ben Keep Bringing The Video's Dude God Bless You And Your Family 👍 👍🙏🙏
I really enjoyed your conversation with the chicken in the end! "Yeah nah it's got pins!"
Love your content Ben keep up the amazing work
Good man, Ben.
Very hard work.
small tip for some of servers. some vendors put service schematics to top cover (either from inside or outside), sometimes it helps demount things
Isilon new would be 30k per unit . I use to work on them . You could look at selling them to a warranty company rhat covers old hardware
The problem is, alot of gov services and companies moving to cloud for storage.
agree but there are still a lot that require on premise devices
Scrap chickens, nice angle. Great video
The chicken is thinking "If I fits I sits" :D

His chickens do most of the work when the recording stops.
@@gazb87yorkshiresalt48 Yeah, kinda like Santa's elves
Freedom, who needs staffing hassles and paying out dead money on rents and costs, Ben is living the dream😉
love scrapathon ben keep up the hard work mate.
Cisco scrapathon? Yes please 😁
I love the content, love the discussions. What better way to spend an evening scrapping?
Just feed me and share your cocktails. I will scrap your cables for free!!
Where are the “Gooday Scappers tshirts??? Maybe a E-W8st Ben 10 piece torx set with no t10 included???
Keep scapin
Hi Ben another day for
Nice content scrap
Item stay safe out there
Bro regards to your Family
Hey Ben, Please do a Cisco scrap-a-thon. Anything Cisco is always interesting! Take Care, Jim
🎉
Ben should do a live stream 😊

That shed is not going to be ever cleared out is it? :D
Like watch you scrap it's awesome to do this
I'm curious, are you really scrapping 1 TB drives? Because there's a pretty huge market for older generation drives, to keep existing servers alive.
Explain
You need a shop ben. Square footage.
Scrap steel... puts only plastic inside :D
Thanks Mate 😎
Wourld you make more pc scrapping videos?
I like to watch theese.
it doesn’t matter what size of ram is 2 or 8 gb if it only matters if it is DDR4 latest is DDR5.. always check for DDR4 on ram sticks!
Guys, were those RAMBUS modules in the end of this video? Ouch!!! :)))
Yeah
Yeah, do a cisco scrap marathon
Yayyy🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
those fans i sell at the scrap yard as motors

No I decided to keep the old van to use as a scrap metal cart

Cisco stuff is good for scrap but hard to sell here, regular servers have better scrap value though
How much is a bottle of coke over there?
$420 worth of drives in that NAS box.
If they were 32 gig ram chips then they wouldn't be getting rid of it....

Exactly what I was thinking, it’s super wasteful too because you’re scrapping something that often still has plenty of life
Also just in general very often he scraps stuff that has significantly more value, not only fiscally but in application too. Those “smart cards” I’m pretty sure we’re ssds and those still have plenty of use and he just throws them in a pile where he probably gets a dollar for them (not sure scrap prices)
@@r0bo11 Ah yeah, I didn't consider the electricity costs to properly erase the drive. Those onlder ones use quite a bit of power as well I believe.
@@billywithak341 I believe those are SATA DOMs, and they do indeed have some value. It's all the extra work that comes with selling things that he doesn't have the time for I think.
👍
Hopefully those Cisco adaptors weren't 10GB SFP+ opticals, otherwise your buyer got a steal @ $5ea!
Ciao where are you live ?
What do you do whit the motherboard?
Man how do you get all this volume? I have been scraping a long time and I rarely find this much good stuff. What can I do to get my hands this much volume of scrap? Might make a good video.

@@luckygen1001 Great tip. I live in small area I bet I haven't even found 25 computers.
save any ferrite rings from chokes etc . they are expensive to buy new
You need to do a wire stripping video
Great vid Ben. Just wondering what’s the worst you’ve ever been backed up on items to scrap ? I can imagine that a literal mountain is possible.
Currently POS Machines, sometimes phones and always wires to cut plugs off, too many PC's are a good problem to have
this firms pays your for recycling their old electronics or you pay them to get that stuff or it is free of charge?
Good deal selling those little things (I forget what they're called) for $5 each

hey body do not scrap the ups ,you can change the batteries and sell them again
Have you got 16 G ran ddr3? for a dell?
Was the casing regular steel or stainless steel ?
always regular steel
im doing a plasma tv lots of value and lots of scroos to undo
im sure many places needs ups
and downs
also you can talk with some art makers and make some beutifull art with hard drives and cpu and other stuff
I've had arty folk come by and look around, they spend all day thinking of what to do with things and come up with little
4TB? more like 16-18-20TB ;-)
like the video's buth a bit les talking and more scraping would be nice
I try and talk as i'm scrapping so you get 2 for 1 :)
I wish he would talk about his conspiracy theories more often
