Laptop

**scrapperben** · 08-30-2012, 09:25 PM

I'm stacking mine and if the stack get's too high i'll reduce it by breaking some down but still keep everything except the casing.
I think a lot of pc components are under estimated because at present everything is available in heaps.
won't be too long that pc's will be so small that we won't see electronics like this, we only know what we know,
we don't know what's ahead and what people will be able to do with electronic components 10 years down the track.

it's a shame a lot of stuff is going to waste dumps, but also what is being reclaimed and scrapped, it's not being re-used much,
it's being melted down completely.
one day they won't make these things or they'll be very expensive, those that have them will be building space ships.

everything I scrap is from chance finds but if I had the chance to buy laptops, I think the price of a big mac is fair,
i'd rather have a laptop then a fatbottom.

Yes, unfortunately people on here often throw a hissy fit when someone asks a question.

Don't save stuff for too long.. The one thing I have been told 100 times when it comes to computers.. The longer you save it the less it's worth.. (In resale terms). Scrap is scrap and based solely on the materials and the market. But resale is a different animal.. a year ago you could sell P4 towers.. now they are scrap.

the thread starter doesn't seem that new, april join date with 70 posts. now if someone hasn't introduced themselves and this is their first post then thats a different story.

personally i prefer different subjects being brought up. the way i view this forum is by clicking on the new posts button once or twice a day. it gives me one to three pages of new posts, i scan and pick the ones that appeal to me. a constant change in what i will be learning each day. some of it is new material to me, others it is a nice review, and the rest i skip over. my choice to open or not.

jbravo, I am the original trhead starter. Most of the 70+ post have been after this. I am learning and this was an earlyer post trying to learn.
And lets face it the search here is not the best.
