    Computers?

    My question to all of you is. When scrapping computer towers. About how much per tower can you get. I have a recycling center in my town that gets the towers and is having a tech go thru them.....slowly! I went in today an jokingly told him I would take some off his hands. He's got about 150, . He told me we could probably work something out, because they are cluttering up his store. I don't mind tearing them apart, but I want it to be worth my time. I would like ant thoughts from those who have scrapped these.

    Thanks
    Chris

    You have to remember the date was when the gold price was higher.

    If we got a dollar each, for how many times that question has been asked before an OP's 4th post, we could give up buying towers and servers, and retire in Bali. mmmmmmmmmmmmm Bali
    If it wasn't for the laws of physics, I would be unstoppable.
