prices may be low but this little bit is still worth $157.80 there was a smaller tub with those stainless/ext alu heatsinks so it would have been more but with not a lot of buyers around I have to settle for dirty alu for those and with so much going for so little right now these alone covered the cost of the last 4 pallets I bought

I love surprises. went to an auction yesterday and picked up a pallet of computers which on the outside look like just regular dell optiplexes and tore it down and there were a few older ones including these 486's Pentium and not show here lol but also a fun duel socket p3 and some nice cards to go with these as well

Don't forget the Buyer in Ohio does buy those if you want to fill up a box with other escrap. Not too bad of a price compared to my local yard at dirty alum price.here was a smaller tub with those stainless/ext alu heatsinks so it would have been more but with not a lot of buyers around I have to settle for dirty alu for those

travis, I asked at my yard and they said they will take the alu fin with copper pipe heatsinks as clean alu rads. I think they just doing me a favour because I never have a lot of either one, but it never hurts to ask.prices may be low but this little bit is still worth $157.80 there was a smaller tub with those stainless/ext alu heatsinks so it would have been more but with not a lot of buyers around I have to settle for dirty alu for those and with so much going for so little right now these alone covered the cost of the last 4 pallets I bought

oh ya no this pic does not show the other bin there are some in the one that I sorted out but I get dirty alu @$0.45lb as for my rads I get full price at least here @ $1.15lb its not really a yard I go to for these the specialty scrap company that picks up from me has many grades for everything I call it dirty alu they grade it as 15% MIX at this price since its the highest price for dirty

I do love tape drives and units even the smaller ones like the one these 8 cartridges came from cause they sell fast and parts sell high even these untested used sold for $20 plus shipping but I love auctions for these cause most pass them up so easily like this one I got for a whopping $1 most have a bad motor or control board so I save a lot of parts to fix others and sell fully loaded

picked up another pallet yesterday at the auction 65 computers total 11 laptops and found a few nice goodies in it some black fibers and p3's but these 3 goodies were a bonus that will at least pay for it maybe even double it the asus p3 black fiber combo I have not seen in a while.

so I always see stash cans and secret boxes and I got this cube in totally ruined inside for resale and as prices go for these on ebay shells I figured I had an idea for a box a made a crude taped version to try and sell but mostly going to give it to a friend as a funny gift for his room lol
Get some seat cover tape and then some cheap seat covers. Mike

movie day was not to bad I like doing stuff while I watch tv and other things most of the time but here and there I do movie days were I watch 5 movies and tear down hard drives. its fun and productive even though I make no were near what I could have its relaxing and a great way to still make money.
spent 9 1/2hrs and still only did 76 drives which aint bad but so many had strippy screws this time and so many I still have to break the motor out of but still did ok for the day.
my breakdown:
7lbs platters @ $2.30lb= $16.10
12lbs magnets @ $1.50lb= $18
23.5lbs cast @ $0.30lb= $7.05
9.5lbs motors @ $0.12lb= $1.14
6oz rings prices vary to much to price so low amount
total of $42.29 about $4.45hr to watch movies
fyi movies I watched were:
back the future
a million ways to die In the west
project almanac
wrong turn 6
Cinderella this years version with lily james
