full load of 386 computers lots of pictures and questions - Page 2

You need to let computers sit a few hours in a warm house or garage after they have been in the cold, moisture in the air condenses on the cold metal and you end up with a short . As far as old power supplies going up in smoke that could just be a filter capacitor burning up, smells bad but doesn't kill anything usually.

i got them all apart over 1 pound of 386 cpus and about 7 pounds of ram, i am now digging into the hard drives and they have some massive boards so i figured i would take one appart and figure the best way to scrap it


the hard dive complete was 1.415 lbs the board was 0.195 lbs and the boardless drive was 1.220 lbs. so based on ewasted pricing

complete drive 1.415 lbs @ $1.05 = $1.49

hard drive board 0.195 lbs @ $11.25 = $2.20
boardless hard drive 1.220 @ $0.40 = $0.49

total of stripped drive $2.69 i think these are some of the few drives i will strip down

dont know why i took this picture but this was how i was handeling power supplies yesterday
