So now that I know what boards are which...

And that metal bracket they are stuck to? THAT's NOT NORMAL STEEL! It is a special alloy worth good money! So smack those magnets off with a chisel or screwdriver, then stick them on your fridge until you get a pile big enough to recycle.



Box up the alloy and ask the scrap yard what it is worth! I forget what the special "magnet blocking alloy" is called. Anybody know?

Here you go;

computer engineers make the magnet’s brackets out of an IRON, NICKEL and MOLYBDENUM based alloy called a permalloy! Permalloy has an extremely high magnetic permittivity, meaning it will stop most magnetic fields.
