    Yeah he did all the hard work for me, though he ripped absolutely every little bit of metal off that he could including copper bits, and heat sinks on all the mother boards, and even some of the metal end pieces off the finger boards... oh well! He also had about 60 mixed hard drives, CD drives and floppy drives unbroken down he gave me. I'm happy.

    Make sure you note that to your buyer. Since he pulled much of that stuff off. The boards might be only worth mid grade now

    Actually I believe he increased the value per pound of the boards since he pulled all the 'junk' metals off them. The escrap buyers are paying $3 or $4/lb for those little aluminum heat sinks or copper donuts when attached to the boards, but we all know that they aren't worth nearly that much seperate by the pound.
