Hope you can find the way to keep or sell all these coreboot-supported boards. Selling those which you don't personally need - shouldn't be hard: since the CPUs are much more resilient than motherboards - there should be a lot of old server's owners looking for a motherboard replacement, and the coreboot support is a great selling point, especially if you can preinstall a coreboot to their chips
