CF-28 Caddies?

I see these guys on ebay all the time that sell CF-28 HD caddies, often complete with a HD. I cant figure out where such a steady supply comes from? I mean I think government agencies usually destroy them when they release their computers for sale right? I've searched high and low on the net for other sites selling them and I haven't had any luck. Anyone have and ideas or suggestions where these come from or where to get them on a regular basis?

 

You can buy them at www.heartlandsi.com. I'm not sure of the current price but they always have them.

Yes... A lot of them come up on ebay from time to time. A ton of them have been taken apart for their parts. So there are a ton of individual parts. I know of a guy who sells them for $110 (I think) and has the hard drive already loaded with the OS and drivers... If you are interested PM me and I'll get you his email...

 

Thanks, yeah I have a contact on ebay that I can get them from for $100 but Im trying to find where he and others get them to cut out the middle man mark up ya know? Plus it would make a good side hobby like they are ; )

 

Find whoever does the data shredding for a local municipality and convince them to only shred the drives!

 

Thats an interesting idea, Ill have to do some research. Thanks!
