    dell monitors

    Picked up 33 dell monitors and started breaking down last night. A good bit of work for not too much pay out. I got faster but am just curious as too how many you can break down in an hour. The slowest part seemed to be getting the copper comb off the yoke and getting the case off.

    I do have some questions about the boards All the ones taken our are brown but seem to have a good bit of aluminum on them. My questions are as follows:
    1) is it typically more profitable to sell the board to a buyer or pull all the aluminum and throw in the shred pile. The boards seem to have good weight on average.



    I hope to pick up the towers next week and there will be a little change in that as I will pick up for $2 apiece.

    On the boards I usually pull the bigger alum. heatsinks, the big transformer, and any easy-to-get-to copper coils. I'm hoping to sell mine to a buyer.
