[EU ONLY] Looking for old, cheap, non working servers

foxone

For the opening of a hackerspace we are looking for servers, even old and non-functional ones, from which we could steal the 'front panels' to make 'artistic' furniture composed of servers that give the impression of being lit up by mounting LEDs inside them. Even going on ebay I cannot seem to find anything similar, and if I do find something, it's at prohibitive prices (even just 50€ per server would mean spending an insane amount of money on a 'coffee table').

So, does anyone need to get rid of any servers or know where to find such things? Even just a pallet of different models and ages would be interesting, hoping the shipping is not too prohibitive.

I am located in Italy, Milano!

Go to OVH and ask for burned servers.
You may get some for free.

I guess you could call local recycling point companies for them. It would be the cheapest option. If you explain them what are you looking for and double the price per kg they would call you if they receive them.
