    My collection

    This is a collection of my cpu, and other trinkets that I keep in a tidy organize place..

    What I do.. is take some of the higher value stuff and organize based on what they are.



    Take a peek.. not the best.. set of pictures.. but if You're curious whats in bucket or box just let me know.




    AND MY FAVORITE OF ALL..



    I really enjoy doing this type of work... I've been scrappin for years and years.. and I've learned alot.. I use to sell My boards to a company here in sioux falls.. for 10 cents a pound.. Dam... Was I upset when I found out.. I was being taken for a ride.. Power supplies I was letting go for a nickle a pound...

    been like I said scrapping and always learning and always growing... I've started in My apt den, building computers, and tinkering with this stuff, then moved to a basement in my first home... did More computers repair and more... scrapping, then to a store front. more scrapping and more computer repair, then to a store front of 4000 square feet, upstairs for computer repairs, and downstairs Recycling, and Now I split My business in half.. 2500 square feet for recycling. able to stack and another store for My computer repair service about 1800 square feet... and I'm just loving it.. .

    Hope You learned a bit more about Me and what I do.. and what I enjoy...

    Thanks for looking and if You've any question please asked and I be happy to reply.

    Looks Good. I am of the belief that hard work and dedication will always cause things to work out in the long run.
    There may a million better places to live than Iowa, but none of them are home!

    Indeed, basically what I'm tryin to do is show people that it can be done.. with hard work and dedication.. its a up hill battle.. but at the end of the day.. its all worth it, because you're a helping the enviroment, b you helping support yourself and family and c you're able to hire employees to work for you to help there family.

    So.. bottom Line .. keep pushing... You can and will get a treasure chest in the near future.

    Nice collection, but I'm curious about one thing. Why haven't you sold any of these before now, or have you?

    What cha seeing.? I appreicate all the kool comments and the lovely chech n chong pic..

    I'm tring to figure out a quicker way to remove the copper heatsinks from the p4 without loosing the pins.. trin to take a screwdriver and pryin them off a bit of a pain..
    but I don't mind if the pins comes off.. so I end up with pinless fiber wonder if its worth just as much..

    I did a batch of them P4 on a steel plate on my ole trusty non food grill.. it works great.. them copper slips right off along with the pins..

    what do yah all think>/

    I say let the pins fall off, just collect them. They contain the majority of the gold in the processor.

    I think it may have been NobleWorks who said that the cpu's have a known amout of gold to the people who process them. CPU's are not going to be faked so that is better than a lump of gold. The price of gold may go up and down but the amout in the a cpu will remain the same. Mike.

    How come I can see these? My work internet has a very robust porn filter and these are definitely scrapper porn.
