If you search the threads on all of this, many times it is discussed how much certain items weigh, etc.

I would say the average ceramic processor weighs about 1.5 to 2 ounces so a pound would be 9 or so? Average motherboard is at least a pound. Finger cards very so much cant even take a guess there. Ram sticks i would say 20 per pound. Hard drive is 1.25 pounds. Thats all i can think of off top of my head.

thats great info, tx. What is a finger card? also do places buy HDD whole? as I have been taking out the boards/motors

Easy did you ever take pics on that haul?

**PartTimeScrapper** · 09-17-2011, 09:18 AM

I know easy buys them whole. But personaly I tear them down myself and sell the boards seperate. Sell the cases as alluminum cast. Sell the disks inside for platinum recovery on ebay ( I think I read somewhere they dont have platinum on them but they still sell on ebay ok) If memory serves me correctly the metal cover is stainless? Plus the rare earth magnets in them sell ok on ebay too from what I read (I use them for tool magnets in my shop)

As far as finger cards go. They are the PCI/ISA/AGP cards that plug into the motherboard that have the gold looking fingers on the one edge of them.

**easyrecycle** · 09-17-2011, 10:13 AM

There is platinum on the disks on the inside.

Yes I do buy them whole at $0.80 a pound.

No photos that that haul as of yet. I will be heading up there on the 20th.
