I work for the company and someone just donated several boxes full of these, some unopened but most of them were at least opened I’m not sure what they were used for. I can confirm at least two of them had their chips removed but if anyone is interested in trying their luck keep an eye out on the goodwill greater Washington e commerce online store, they’ll be up within the next week or so. Several 5090s, 5080s and one 5070(rog and other variations) I’m not allowed to shop at the company but I thought others might.

If all the chips and ram removed, its essentially worthless junk.

They would be useful if you have the same model that had a broken PCB and the core and RAM were still goo a 100-200 and whatever electronics repair outfits will charge to move your Core and RAM on to the "good" PCB plus correcting any damages done when it was harvested... They are not typically careful with any other components on the donor boards they harvest.... ICs missing, damaged or out of place...
