eriously though, wood must be moved. Who knows what's trapped behind there, some potential gems. The Macs damaged by moisture, well it's surprising just how much they can withstand, especially in sealed units. My 512k sat out in a shed for years hit by the harsh elements and now it's working again, so you never know. I'd be interested to see what you mean by "rusting" though. Must refer to the ports and connectors on the back, since I can't see plastics rusting.
Well thats true. If there was something on the top of the pile or close it may be worth it however I have not the time to do that and that whole place is a disaster zone and borderline dangerous. Anything close to the bottom will be rusty and dirt/plant covered (I saw some near the area I could get to and it was not pretty). If he'd clean it out or move things around I'd go back for a second look but its not worth it at this point considering the lack of care he took in taking care of what is there.
