    Just be careful about the storing. I know the epa won't really bother the little guy, but a lot of states have rules about storing no more than a year on CRT's. If you have a landfill ban, read it. I have read my states landfill ban act 5 times in its entirety, not a good read but need to know the laws and how to interpret what they dictate. Nu-Life glass recently closed and is leaving the United State for good because of those type of restrictions.

    By the way, welcome to the forum and best of luck, and know your local laws, besides just the knowledge you WILL gain here.

    i did manage last night to get unloaded and all most all the CPU pulled out including a couple of Pentium pro that were from a server and much larger than regular computer has. As of right now i have about 2 30 gallon barrels full between mother boards,and misc cards, and ram half a barrel worth of hard drives, and CPU, and 3/4 barrel of misc aluminum heat sinks and have only made it through about half the load cherry picking

    I just hope you did not throw the cpu's in the barrel with other stuff that could break them. If you left them on the mobo's you might have a better chance to save them. You need to keep those in a separate tote, especially the ceramic ones. They will break pretty easy if heavier things are thrown on top of them. Separate everything as you are tearing down, that way things that should not break, won't.
