    Scrapping a Dell Optiplex in less then 5 seconds.





    The recovery rate is not so good though.

    And yet, after doing many myself, this might be my preferred method! I hate Dells!

    Looks more like an 8 second fuse to me!
    HA!
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    It wouldn't be hard to do but I really don't want black helicopters hovering over my house.

    We purchase laptop computers and many components for greater than scrap value. We offer a shipping reimbursement program.replies

    Oh come on- you're doing that to a 745! They're easy.

    Now, for OptiPlex GX270s, throw me the dynamite. If I can light up 50 at once, that would be well less than 5 seconds per machine.
