Ed, I worked out a ball park figure with a friend of mine who is an IT director for one like the deal that was released by QSGI Inc. yesterday:
500 high value Sun and HP servers:
Original cost 50 to 100 thousand per server.
Resale value 35% to 45% of original cost.
One to three thousand per server for the Data Destruction and certification approved by any kind of government IT audit.
KruseCom does the refurbishing, wiping and already has a certification process setup so we were thinking they could probably get it done for maybe half the cost but worst case we fell like the cost would be no more that 1 million dollars.
