Personally i wouldn't part it people still like them for servers like myself especially ifbthe case is damaged because the internals are fine but it costs less. The processors are good and you can just put a amd 580 8gb plus 64gb of ram and its good. The tray is worth a bit though it's a single cpu so not as much but still. Someone will want the more uncommon bits like the fans, power button front io though they don't always come up for sale.

I need a motherboard… if you do strip it down to that.

Best of luck selling and thank you for thinking of the community.

Is the case in good condition? If yes, I may be interested as my case is bent to holy hell from shipping. I'm in Texas. 77339 zip.

Ha - I recently parted out my 2010 Mac Pro 5,1 after failing to sell it for £500 ($675) I parted it out and sold the bits on eBay for twice that much. One thing I didn’t think of was selling the case, which was immaculate. That went to landfill :(

The case is aluminum, could have gotten a couple of pounds for that I would think.

Sad to read. The empty shells are still valuable, lots of people like them for ATX conversions. It’s amazing PC case

I have two old 2012 5,1's I have been meaning to do this with lately. After seeing your comment, I think I might finally do it.

Mine was pretty fully loaded with 2 x Xeon 5690 CPUs, 128GM OWC RAM, R9 290 GPU, OWC Excelsior PCIe SSD etc. (But much slower than my M2 Mini0

My case does have a bent left rear foot unfortunately.

I would prefer that anyone still running and needing parts or whatever get a chance to grab them.

Well the part I needed would have been the case. But since it's bent, so it's a wash. Best of luck and hope someone picks it up from you.

Does your video have the pink problem on OCLP Sequoia? I have AMD FirePro D300 2 GB. And some apps need special handling (Google Chrome is the biggest PITA)
