So, I can grab this for ~300 bucks. However, I have two issues.
1. How do I bring it to Chantilly, VA. Could a 2007 Ford F-150 300hp pickup haul it? what kind of trailer would I need?
2. How much computing power would 838 desktops hold? I'm guessing they are from late 2000's(2007-2009 model computers). I am the same person from homemade supercomputer

I doubt that you have the ability to power a quarter of these desktops.  I've worked on beowulf clusters myself in the past and their results aren't too good.  If you want to cluster stuff together then do it with laptops.  Besides, this purchase will go for much more than the starting bid.

They have a bunch of labtops for sale there aswell, 50 labtops on each pallet. The purchase usually stays within $200 of the starting bid.
