From trash to silver

If I made one mistake , it's been to not buy 1 oz of silver per week from some of my proceeds I make each week . But now I make sure of it (to buy silver) . It matters not the price of silver as - first scrap is - - - - - ok enough said about that . Second More or less scrap prices seem to flow with silver prices give or take , so long as you can put a little aside for a silver eagle from some Short Steel it's all good .
That being said I should have 182 ounces of silver ranging from a purchase price
of a low of $24 to $42 per oz in the last 3 1/2 years . Now if I had done that my silver stash would be at a loss , but I would rather have that shiny loss in my closet then the countless times I spent money with no memory and nothing to show for it
----------------------------
So with that said - I want to sell all my computer Boards Mem CPU's for the purpose of purchasing silver . I like silver as it comes in as a nice round coin with set weights and market price. Is gold is a better choice ?
