    There is no universal answer to this question. It all depends on your buyer(s) prices, shipping/transportation costs (if any) and how much you value your time. Everyone has to do their own math to figure out what is best for them.

    Personally I break em down.

    I do pull the boards off all of them, and have been breaking down the hard drives completely. I may not contiue to break down the hard drives depending on the price I get from the yard I just started selling to.

    One addition to the above the floppy drives I only get the connector end of the board off and put it with the other connectors that have gold plated pins. I just use a wood chisel to cut through the brown board to recover the connector end. Mike.

    Don't do anything with them until you talk to me, it's going to depend on how you'r going to sell them and to who.
