    Break down of my oldest computer so far

    Here's some pictures of my break down of the oldest computer I've broken down yet. I'm under 75 for a total of computers I've recycled so I new at it.




















    The cpu is the first black one I have seen, also the memory sticks are different.

    This board has very long fingers on it and seems to be heavier than adverage.


    Its always fun to tear apart new and differnt things, Mike.

    The memory sticks are silver tinned EDO chips. They sell for the same price as the gold fingered ones to most sellers
    The longer fingerboard card is what they call a riser board. These usualy sell with the fingerboards for most sellers. A tip to look at when dealing with older computers. Look between some of the risers are what they call jumpers. They are removable clean gold fingers. They look like this.




    1 of them weighs .5 ounces so at current prices thats. $2.34 each.

    Hey E what is the pay on one lb. of the MMX pentium chip I have there? Its the first one of those I have seen anywhere. Thanks to PT for the tip on the risers. I learn so much from the folks here. Again thanks to E for a great experience dealing with your company. Mike.

    I believe those are black fiber chips and about $35-40 a pound.
