Still trying to chunk through my whale...

After driving an entire load to ewasted down in Ohio (which was a VERY pleasant experience) and fishing in over $1600...I am about half way through. xD There are a few computers that I've taken apart that I thought would interest you guys. I have a few of this one type that has gold CPU's soldered directly to the board...are these worth taking off? I heard yes. I took one apart and on my trip to Ohio and got telecom grade for them, but I have 2 more to break down. Pics to come soon. Here is a computer that I took apart today that I thought was pretty good.

As I started breaking it down:




What I ended up with, minus the shred, a few gold connectors, power supply, and wire:

You have some nice boards there but you most likely already know knew that part.

Thank you! That means a lot coming from you! I wish I could share my wealth with you but you are on the complete opposite border as I am haha.

Trucks are a beautiful thing. =-P

True dat. :P

The boards with the chips soldered on the board that you have there....don't take less than $8 a pound for them.

Thank you for the tip. So I should leave the chips on? What about that one with excessive gold?

I'll be honest, it looked like a small server to me with all the ram.

If you try to take the chip off it will brake and crack. So its best to leave it on it. On top of that it bumps the whole board price up.

Ok, sounds logical. Thank you for the tip.
