I could see $100 maybe.

eh, I paid $55 just to ship an $1,200 laptop which weighed 9lbs. I could see a few hundred for a server being reasonable, and I could see $500+ shipping for a server that is fully specced to be insured and shipped appropriately.

I can either do computer work today, which will make me more tired or I can fix stuff, which I have no motivation to do.

no more BGA for a while. Finally traced it down to a security chip that tells the whole machine how to work. It stores the amount of memory, serial number, basic programming and security functions. I can buy the chip, just no cost effective way to program it.

Told you they have security in them...

its not the security, its the memory size and serial number that I can't figure out how to get around. Also it looks like there are graphite leads going to that chip and I can't justify spending even more money to get around that.
