Dunno, I've scrapped a couple... bought twice as many single processor
machines as I needed and doubled them up, and then just set the others
aside with body markers on them.

I'm not sure I understand the animosity toward this guy. Are you really
offended that the chassis isn't being used? Or that the cpu has been
removed without authorization from this list? :) Or just that he won't
ship to NZ? 

Not everyone who disassembles a system is a moron. I don't think he's
committed any travesty based on what's in the auction listing. For all you
know the board failed but the cpu was still good. That's certainly not a
crime, is it?

Sigh.
