    At 1.40# there's not much to lose especially if you wait till you have a nice gaylord full and do them all at once.

    Here is a quick breakdown of 5 random power supply's I cut the wires from. I'm not the best at math late at night so I might be off a little.


    Ps #1- 10.4 oz

    Ps#2- 6.6 oz

    Ps#3- 7.0 oz



    Ps#4- 5.4oz

    Ps#5- 8.2oz

    Total weight 2.35#. I'm rounding down so at $1.40#. That is $2.80. For 5 random ps. I did those 5 in 1 min which is not very fast. But say you do 5 a minute for an hr you will have done 300 ps

    Now 300 divided by 5 is 60 times $2.80 is $168.00 an hr and that's rounding down.

    Now let's say you only get half which is 0.70# you still make $84.00 an hr

    I don't know about you but i sure wouldn't mind making that an hr.

    Oh and at $1.40# with 300 I could pay someone to help and still make money.

    And yes it would be hard to do 300 hr anyways you get my point for me it's well worth cutting the wires off.
