kc2ihx, 1 month ago @ai6yr somewhere in the ad I thought I read that all the cables were removed and in boxes, but carefully labeled for reassembly. That almost sounds worse...

miah, 1 month ago @ai6yr literally a job, they won't just let "anybody" come in and move it. Current bid is at $50k which is still below reserve, and I bet moving it will cost >$10k too!

wotsac, 1 month ago @ai6yr @me_valentijn the CPU chips go for about $40-$50 apiece, two per node, and the ram is probably worth another $50-$75 per node over 4032ish nodes (on eBay). The eWaste scrap value of the rest probably covers a fair percentage of the overhead
