I get a pile of PC's before I bother taking them all apart. Once you're good at it, you can strip them down in a few minutes. But group those parts like scrapping anything else, and find yourself a refiner. I keep a pile of cases, power supplies and the wires before I head to the scrap yard with them. Those wires are all steel, don't bother trying to get any copper.

its not steal they are a mix metals. Cut them off an put with your copper wire. I will give you $0.35 to $0.40 cents a pound.
