    cords from keyboard & mouse

    can I put in #2 insulated? Doesn't #2 have to have only one layer of insulation? How about cat5 and phones cables? Does the keyboard/mouse connector ends have any value?

    Thanks

    You get .95 a lb for mixed steel/appliances??? I'd be taking them a semi load.
    I'll repeat again for around the 10th time, if it plugs into gold on the motherboard then it should be a gold conn. end.
    The cord should go as #2. But we don't go to your yard so we don't know how they grade wire.
