Could be. Depends on who's looking. I need a couple of things myself. Like a 2U case and one of those racks. Where is this at?
 
I'll take a rack. :-D

If you can get it super cheap, you can probably make a pretty penny on ebay by parting the stuff out.

What are the model numbers of the servers?
 
Tumwater, WA. I also found a 42U APC NetShelter for a few hundred bucks on craigslist in my area, is that a good deal?

It's really hard to say without knowing the specs of the servers. The configuration could be the difference between a $1000 value or a $100 value.

Nothing stands out as being exceptionally valuable. It's all order stuff that most companies aren't going to be using any more because of the power usage. If you could pick it up for a a few hundred dollars then I would say sure you can probably make a decent amount parting everything out on ebay. But without a more detailed list i wouldnt spend a lot on it. It's going to be a lot of work finding new homes for all that older hardware.

Having looked at some of the other stuff they have, I thought these servers were outdated but since I am not an expert, I don't know what useful and what is crap.

They have pallets of LCD monitors, telephones and related equipment, LCD/Digital projectors, laser printers, computers, iMacs, and Apple G4/5's, Cell phones, handheld scanners, a huge box of various video cards... lots of stuff. I can post pictures if you guys want.

could use a 2u case and a rackmount UPS if the price was right

guessing state govt. surplus
 
Hey, if they're good and you can use them, go right ahead.
