I have been searching internet a lot the past days to find some prices. First wanted to buy ceramic or < 1990 CPU's te extract the gold from them.


There are several lists on the internet wich gives you the amount of gold in various CPU's but they are all different. For example, some website say there is about 1 gram of Gold in a Intel Pentium Pro processor. Other website's say there is only 0.5 grams in it. That is an insane difference.


After searching for only CPU's i found out that the IC chips and some other parts on boards have value as well so i was wondering how much a 2000+ desktop without HDD has on Gold value. Like i said i google a lot and found some answers. Some website's say 9$ or less, and some people say 20$ with ease.


Can somebody give me a real answer, on how much gold there is on average on a year 2000 > desktop (medium/big tower) containing ;




- Case (metal)
- CPU
- Motherboard
- Onboard VGA
- 1 Memory bank
- PSU


p.s. : Can't you make much more money on buying whole systems and sell them in parts? (I was thinking about buying desktops at 5-8$ each).
