    I did my research and I want to verify my results.

    OK so I have been doing some reading. I think I have found the correct answers. I don't want to be the newbie with all the questions so I am just looking for a little reassurance that the info I think I have found is on the right track.

    1. Power supplies and things are going to be worth more money broken down, based solely on the value of the materials. Obviously time is an issue, but solely(That is a word that I had to look at a lot to get spelled right) on the materials it is worth more apart.

    2. Eproms and IC's are worth about the same, look basically the same on boards and should be taken off of low grade circuit boards.

    3. The things connecting all aluminum heatsinks are transisters and are sold as #2 copper. I am assuming they should be taken off of all low grade too.

    4. All CRT boards are low grade and all boards that are not green on both sides are low grade. Besides those crazy colored ones.



    5. Motherboards, no matter the type, shouldn't be touched at all, save for the finger boards and RAM attached, and the CPU's. All the other copper stuff and sinks and things should all be left on there since they are worth less than the board is. Obviously any wires and ribbons too.

    Ok I am sorry for this. Like I said I have done my homework so I am not asking for answers. I believe I have found the answers. If I have done my research incorrectly if you could just tell me what number is not correct and I will do the research some more.

    I can understand the frustration with repeat questions so I am trying not to be the annoying newbie, but I hope you can appreciate how much it helps the newbie to get that vote of confidence that what they just found out is actually the correct thing.

    I want to start out from the beginning doing this the right way.

    Thanks again and you can ban me if I have become the annoying one already.

    P.S. Is it wrong to add at the end here HOW AWESOME THE PITTSBURGH PIRATES ARE DOING FOR A CHANGE!!!!???
