Hello

Hello all,

My name is Chuck, I live in Windber PA about 13 miles from Johnstown PA. I run a small, humble computer repair shop out of my home and have been doing so his for over 4 years now, part time. I work full time for a local communications company. I will do my best over the next few years in collecting scrap from electronic devices and desktop computers. I am a bit of a treasure hunter and that may come from my father, he had to help feed his brothers and sisters by raiding junk piles when he was a kid, we have different motives but its all treasure if you know who to sell it to right?

I just dismantled 8 computers in my basement last night and separated all of the different boards, RAM sticks and PCI cards etc. etc. People give me their busted up or obsolete computers from time to time and I used to pitch them on clean up day, but I have decided to stop junking good money, so here I am trying to learn more about your industry. I will be posting a few questions immediately.




Thank You
Chuck

Thank You!

I may know computers and how to fix them, but I never thought for a minute that I had anything figured out with how to scrap these things. I am a noob at this for sure and have lots to learn, so thanks for the info.

I need to be able to post pictures with my questions, how do I get that privilege?

Couple more posts under your belt bud. Magic number eludes me.

As Mech said, like being back at school. Just a lot more fun learning here then there!
