    i agree with you. Better to pay a little and get more quanity. I usually only pay 2-3 dollars ea for towers and .25 a pound when i have to get from scrap yards. I also buy the boards, memory, and processors from people as well. People will definietly remember your # number when you give them cash for something they were previously giving away for free. This week we were able to get approx 100 computers and aprox 1400 Pounds of boards. I usually pay some one to dismantle computers while i chase down the next load.

    I so hope I can turn this into those quantities in the next year or so. I would love to get 100 computers a week to tear down.

I talked to the one dud at my yard last week and they said they see at a minimum 20 to 30 towers a week get thrown into the shred pile. I think a phone call to the yard boss might be in order this week.
    You are on to something there ! Soon you will have to have a name change to FullTimeComputerScrapper.
