Found some gold on the PCB from a projector I took apart. Also, that sure looks and feels a lot like a CPU. Any idea how I would sell/classify that?
I have no idea what type of projector this was. I only received the guts from it. Thought this was an interesting surprise though.

Yes, that is a DLP chip. I don't know exactly, but I think those run around $30/lb.

Just an FYI some of those projector are now being repurposed for DIY 3D printers. Look into that before scrapping a working projector.
This is just on example. DIY high resolution 3D DLP printer (3D SLA printer)

Does that even make sense now that you can buy a 3D printer for less than $500?
I have another DLP projector that I hoped was working as it was still in original box. I just tested it and it is overheating. I read that cleaning the filters might fix that but this one has nothing resembling a filter. The lamp was working, so I just threw it up on eBay and I'll scrap the rest. One more DLP chip and high grade board. And I think I have another in my pile of stuff to break down. I'm hoping if it's not working that it is DLP too.
