[sudo-discuss] Specs of e325 "rack" server machine

[Jake]

Yes you are very correct, we do save hard drives that are 120GB, sometimes 
even less.  They are small and worth having around since they are often a 
missing piece when building a computer.

As for the CPUs of your computer, i personally would not pull them but 
rather send them on to recycling.

Don't forget to come to Hardware Hacking Tuesdays every week at 7PM!!
