Thanks for taking the time to look these links up. From what I got from the links I can buy them for about $2-$6 and sell them after break down for $10-15

I went ahead and broke down a computer and scaled it up using the prices from Ewasted. Here is what I got:

DVD Drive........................................1.75l bs. @.22 = $.39
HD................................................ .1.25lbs. @1.10=$1.28
Ram.............................................. .05lbs. @14.30=$1.43
Processor...................................... .05lbs. @ $34 =$1.70
Mother Board................................. 1.30lbs.@3.60=$4.68
Case............................................ 8.85lbs.@ .08=$.71
Power Supply............................................ .........=$1



Total............................................. ..................$10.29

So, my numbers matched up pretty good with the numbers from the others. I always like to see the breakdown of things.
