According to The Associated Press and Visir, those are the items a coordinated group of Icelandic thieves has stolen over the past two months. And though 11 people have reportedly been arrested and at least two are still in custody, none of the stolen computers have yet been found by police.

The thefts, which occured between late December and early January, were reportedly captured on surveillance cameras by Advania, the server company hit by two of the three thefts. (The graphics cards, processors and so on were allegedly stolen from a home.) Advania had been offering its customers access to bitcoin-mining rigs, and it sounds like those were the type that were stolen. The Associated Press reports that the stolen computers are worth nearly $2 million.
