    gold cpu? gold heatsink?

    I couldn't find any info looking around. What do you think it is? What's it worth? It seems like the cpu could be build into the motherboard and that is just a golden heatsink. The reverse side of the motherboard says INTEL pp100 i 92' 93'.

    The CPU is embedded in the motherboard. The heat sink is Gold plated Copper.

    Looks like a laptop mobo.... What brand and model?
    The only other gold plated heat sink I have ever seen was over on grf, and that one was a standard tower sized sink. Nice find!!!

    gold plated copper makes sense. It is heavy. So what is it worth to a buyer? Where do I put it?
    I don't have a gold plated copper bucket..... yet
    It was in a Toshiba satellite laptop. early 90s.

    Not sure of worth but start an " OMG its gold bucket" and fill it up.
    Just don't get blinded by the gold.

    The "OMG its.....bucket" copywrited by Sirscrapalot.

    If you had a decent amount of this same material, you could probably see 50-60.00 per pound on ebay.

    A little better pic. It was also hidden under this cast aluminum heatsink, if you wanted to know. Size compares to a p4 but weighs at least twice as much.

    I wish I knew how to get a photo up on this; I found one of these awhile back in a liquid cooled tower about double that size and they sure do make the room brighten up!
