you would have gotten far more selling that Compaq server as is, from the looks of it you had most if not the whole system. I been in the market for a system like that too and most folks pay around 400-500$ for one working or not.

What kind of Compaq do you think it was? I ran a few of them back in the late 90s and early 2000s.

I did have the whole thing, but didn’t have the time/desire to sell it as a unit.
It was a Proliant

3, certainly has some looks of a slot processor but also a gfc card and maybe some ram modules. Unless someone here knows more about that specific board you likely need input from Chris on how he'd buy it.

2, backplane at minimum but I'd lean high Telco with all the ICs and tantalum and presumably gold plated pins

1, I would think high Telco

I know more than a handful of people that would have bought it ASAP myself included. Old server stuff from this time point is worth a lot on the second hand market, I sold one off cards form servers of the same age like your for well over 2.5k a pop. I paid a few grand for a non working mostly gutted ALR evo 6 systems a few years back and knew someone who paid well over 10k for a few nec/gateway alr 6x6 systems a few years back. Even on a back day the cards you have (not counting the sata card) would go for 50-100$ pop. You are stepping over 100$ bills for pennies here. and this is all coming form a guy who hates selling on the second hand market.
