First two pictures are of the same board. It is a main board out of a large server unit with many trays. My question is do the metal brackets holding the two smaller boards which held the cpus have to come off the board or can they be left on the board. If i were to remove them then the main board would not show te two previously socketed cpus. The third picture is a picture of the same board with the two smaller boards taken off.

Pic 4 please identify- should be a large socket?
Pic 5 please identify- should be a large socket?
Pic 6 please identify- peripheral grade?
Pic 7 please identify- i will be taking the ceramic chip off.
Pic 8 please identify- peripheral?
Pic 9 please identify- double sided pinned????

Here is my take although I am not an expert and you have very unique boards.

1. I would put it with my Back Plane
2. Very confident it will be a Small Socket Mother Board
3. Telecom. If you remove the Intel ceramic chip it will still be a telecom I guess.
4. Due to the number of Flat Backs, IC chips and the ceramic I would think it is a telecom. If not you may get Large or Small Socket Mother Board.
5. Large Socket Mother Board
6. Small Socket Mother Board
7. I would say Telecom due to all the processors however if the yellow cap on each processor is gold platting and you easily remove them then you could get more for the chips than the board. If the processors are made of fiber it may not be worth it to scrap it.
9. Telecom, I guess. if removing the processors then Multi Socket board but I can't the size of the socket. Again you could calculate if removing the processors will be worth the effort.

I would leave the i960 in place on #3. Removing the chip will take some weight off and it appears the chip is soldered on, so at best, you will get no-pin grade on it. On a few of the other boards you have, if the ICs with the yellow tops are indeed gold capped, you will get gold cap chip board for those, which pays more than telecom. 602bridgeway is accurate on everything else you have shared.

Thank you for the reply. I was just a little curious what other people would think. I have quite a load of boards ready to make the trip to the warehouse.

If you are driving in, the best day to go would be on a Wednesday. Chris says that on that day, there are fewer large deliveries, so you should be able to get in, have your materials weighed, then walk out with a check in hand.

I live in canton, and i have been thinking about bringing my material to your facility but when i campared prices between you and CFCS they hve higher pricing on most every component. I was wondering if you could match those prices? I would rather deal with your facility.
