I found this in a box of crap I got from a yard sale. I intended to process as much as possible to send into BoardSort. Can anyone tell me if some things are worth selling elsewhere, or if it's all just scrap?
If its Scrap, is there anything that I should remove to maximize my payout?

The terabyte drives would probably be of interest to someone but you need to make sure they work and if you do go that route, I would perform a wipe on them just to help make sure there's no personal data on them.

The quantum drive and PCI cards might interest someone too but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you scrap the PCI cards are gold fingered cards. You can take the brackets off and weigh with and without to determine if clean gfc or gfc with bracket (no heatsink/fan) is better.

Hard drives you can do the same thing to an extent, remove the boards and weigh to see what's better. Or you can tear the whole thing apart and get some nice magnets and sell the aluminum/steel/motor/etc to a scrap yard and send the board to Boardsort.
