Motherboards 750 lbs. (Finger cards included)
Assorted CPU 18.5 lbs.
Ram 12.5 lbs.
Shred steel 7000 lbs.
Fans 150 lbs.
Brass 10 lbs.

Copper 70 lbs.
Cu/ Alum Rads 55 lbs.
Power supply 1400 lbs.
CD drive Boards 34 lbs.
Hard Drives X265 (not broken down yet)
MB batteries 4 lbs.
Gold ends 22 lbs.
Ins wire 220 lbs.
Ribben wire 110 lbs.
Tant caps 0.5 lbs.


Total = 10090 lbs / 500 = 20.18 lbs. average weight per computer to start.

Nice work PF4! Any chance you could show an itemized list of what you got paid for all that? I really want to get into ewaste so seeing big totals like that fascinates me. Thanks in advance. If it's to much trouble no prob.
