The other stuff really matters how you want to deal with. Of course you will always get more money selling items on Ebay or Craigslist as a parts. If you want to scrap it there are plenty of buyers on this board that will buy wire, cables, heat sinks, & boards, for their metal contents.

The link you posted isn't accurate on the gold content per chip. There have been many who have claimed there is 1g of gold in the Pentium Pros and that's just simply not the case. Obviously your results will vary, depending on your skill level and how you refine, but I believe some/most of those figures are off. Intel 486 CPU's are a little higher as well. Just my .02. I'm not trying to highjack the thread, just inform those who might not know.
