    Question Apple G-5 screen boards

    Hey fellas, I pulled these boards and on/off switch from an Apple G-5 that I picked up. I have no idea how to classify them. There is obvious gold on them, and they are green on both sides. Or, should I cut out the gold pieces and sell them like that. All feedback is appreciated. Mike

    If you had a big handful of the gold bits then you would have something to sell on Ebay, otherwise you'll just have to save them up till you get enough quantity. It's just like scrapping, it's all about the volume..

    I have bunches of this stuff, but this is the first from a Mac. I need to know if it is high or mid grade.

    You should be able to get mother board value on those boards. It will depend on who you sell to. They look like the boards that come out of flat screen monitors and flat panel tv's. If you cut the gold off of them you will down grade them to low grade.

    Is it that the standard price for a LCD board, is twice the price of a normal green board?

    G5's are nice, chunky copper & sheets of Ali, easy to pick apart. And 25gms of Tanti capacitors......
