Ok, a very rich gold mine produces about 1 ounce of gold per ton of crap. I would think that the amount of gold in a ton of computers would probably approach the gold per ton of a decent mine. When you figure in the rare elements and copper as well as the steel and aluminum, I would bet that it is profitable to process scrap computers and CRT's. Whatever they say, CRT's could be crushed and roughly ground to use as an additive to aggregate for cement or asphalt. I am just not buying the whole "the crap is too expensive to get rid of" story.
