Boards from newer flatscreens can have good resale value.

200 towers for $1000 I would snap up in a second.

This is all the info written on the top of the chip

I bought the board, apparently it came from a very old IBM word processor.

Sorry about the terrible pics, can't find the usb cable...

Awesome deal for you @ $45! Mutually beneficial business relationships are always the best.

There is no universal answer to this question. It all depends on your buyer(s) prices, shipping/transportation costs (if any) and how much you value your time. Everyone has to do their own math to...

Hey happy, mine has the 4.3L V6. In many respects I like my truck but it has caused me a few headaches. Fuel consumption is in the toilet too. I'm looking forward to being able to buy something...

Absolutely. With what I will have in the bed and trailer I'll be pushing my little truck pretty good. When it comes to some things in life I have a pretty good tolerance for risk, however when it...

freonjoe, nope and thanks for the link mechanic looks like I'm in the market for a new hitch.

My '03 Chevy S10 came with a hitch already installed when I bought it 2 years ago. Haven't towed anything yet but that will be changing in the very near future so I'm trying to get all of ducks in a...

I get a different price for having my boards be free of heatsinks and batteries, ends up being well worth it for me to have my boards clean.

Best of luck Devin

at $7.50 each you should do well. Even if they have been stripped of RAM and CPUs the motherboards + steel alone will put you ahead of the game.

Best of luck in landing more material from this...

With the lack of a municipal recycling program I think this could work fairly well. You can be also sure to let them know that when they have other items they need to get rid of (appliances,...

PTS, thanks for the pics.

I was going to say they can vary significantly. If I was bidding on 6000 I would certainly use a conservative estimate for average weight.

Best of luck olddude, could...

Can be tough to swallow the price tags of come items but time is money and like you said can't afford to have the truck sitting for any length of time, cost of doing business.

Hope things are...

Yes the prices for 304 SS and Cu#2 are very weak. The rest are also all lower than what I am getting but not way off.

Did they not have an xrf gun to check the heatsinks?

$5 is high but if he is really that firm this is what I would personally do. Visit him and break down one computer. Weigh everything and do a little quick math. As Jeremiah said there can still be...

If it doesn't become obvious to me right away how the case is designed to open out comes the pry bar. I used to spend a bit of time to do it properly but when your break down pile is above your head...

I'm with you on that. Solid tool except for that **** blade release lever. The first one I had broke the very first time I went to change a blade, just went back to the store and exchanged it no...

Have scrapped a good number of these.

Always been lead acid batteries, sold them to the yard just as you would a normal car battery.

Badass!

Dangerous to let yourself become blind to other possible revenue streams.

I completely understand where you are coming from when for some things where the difference is literally a few bucks...

That's like a pretty darn amazing deal!

Take some pics!
