    A nice computer scrap pick-up today

    Got a good deal on a large pile of computer parts. It was two large bins full. One bin full of motherboards, the other one full of power supplies, CD drives, etc.
    Took it back to the shop, weighed and sorted it. I'm very happy: 120 lbs of clean motherboards, 260 lbs of power supplies, 84 lbs of CD drives, and a few other parts.
    The bonus was that about 1/2 of the motherboards had the CPU's on them, including 2-3 ceramics.
    Paid only $50 for the whole lot, and it was only a block away from my shop! One of the best deals I had in a long time.

    Why would you beat your motherboards with a stick? LOL Sence I get the same price for all motherboards then I would say the CD disk drive boards go for the same as any color motherboards.
