I still have (2) HP DL380 servers in one of my server racks in the basement.
It just holds up tools and crap I have piled on there.  Otherwise, it would be
in the trash as well.

Most of the guts I have aquired from work or other friends that work in IT at
other local shops.  When they pull hardware, I sometimes come over and get
stuff.  I just get the guts and then buy all the upgrades to make them more
modern.  That is what I have done with the SuperMicro servers.  I wanted them
mainly for the chassis and backplane.  The rest I bought and replaced.

I am not aware of any local chop shop here, but have used Ebay to get lots of
stuff.
