I was recently given 20+ Butterfly Labs 500gh/s mini rigs (Bitforce 500), and I was wondering if they held any value?
They each have 2 1500 watt power supplies I could scrap and sell individually, but are the units as a whole worth anything, or are they too obsolete?

It's pretty amazing o many you found.  But sadly I would say the PSU's have the most value.   You might be able to sell a few on craigslist if you live in a big town, but you will not get rich off of these miners.

And as far as running them at this point you will mine at a big loss.

OMG 2300 watt for 500gh! Just keep the heatsink, the fans and power supply.
 Wink
You could probably keep them for futur project. Some board are starting to be created and will need heatsink and powersupply.
Check the board of sidehack!

pull the psu's

 pull the fans

the heatsinks have value.

What would the heatsinks be worth? It looks like my best option is to scrap and get a few bucks from the metal shells

If you got free power run them, otherwise they are collectors item to put on the shelf or trash.
