    Scrapping an old Computer

    Hi all,

    As you guys know, a new scrapper is burn every day so i decided to make a new scrapping video, main subject is plain old PC's...

    Most of you probably know all of this as i'm covering the very basics in the video, but i think new guys or those scrappers who never dealt with computers before will find it useful.

    A few points which may come up and some have already brought up in the comments section of the video are:



    - What about the cable ends (contains gold plated pind) which are being cut off?
    In my mind, simply collect them, let them pile up and sell to a larger dealer.
    - What about the PSU ?
    Too much work for my taste for a too little return.
    - What about the platters and Neodymium magnets in HD?
    I think selling these platters on eBay for "PLATINUM RECOVERY WOW" is a total ripoff, but that's just me... The magnets are cool things to have though.
    - What about the Laser diode in the CD-Rom?
    Again, too much work in my mind, just for this little gold plated diode casing.

    If you have any more of the same, please feel free to ask, comment or answer yourself.

    (p.s- all of the answers above are only my own opinion, which not nessecerly be the best)
