I always tell customers that BFI will take them and then point them to the dumpster out back.

guy at the computer store next to my office had a case that was really tempting a double-wide dual p-300 server case with enough space for like 6-8 scsi drives, and about 15 other drives, etc

would be a lot of fun to see how much stuff you could pack in there
