I hit a local recycler and they have a unit that looks like a phone booth 
they will eventually turn into toasters. So I was wondering if it was worth 
much to anyone in parts. To be honest it looked more impressive then it is 
from a 1 minute spec search (bottom is a huge power supply, middle is just 
more HD storage, top had a DDS3 drive so it could not be that old).
