Finally got rid of that big box of cd drives and floppies, more than I thought.

Cleaned means as in copper with out other materials, Al without other material. If you had a Al ladder with some steel screws in it then it would be dirty Al not clean Al. In reference to the boards from cd/dvd's they are clean when you remove them from the players themselves. I hope this is helpful. You will find that the more you read the old threads the more you will understand. Best of luck Mile.

Thanks, but I rarely see any Al or steel to be removed on optical drive boards. I was asking about where he said "Some buyers will pay hard drive board price for cleaned cd rom drive boards." I have never heard of anyone paying hard drive board price for optical drive boards regardless of what is removed.
