Yeah that's what it looks like. I'm digging into them tonight and seeing what's really left in them.

So far - worst case scenario I should break even on the money I spent which means I donated my time to learning a valuable lesson. I know my first purchases haven't been perfect but I learned something on both of them and that holds value in my book.

Just loaded up a mini fridge and dryer into the truck. Gonna be a huge shred load. At least 300#!

All the RAM from the night. Weak.






Pile of power supplies. Not sure what I'm gonna do with them yet. Little bit of copper (pain to get to/unwind)...little bit of aluminum...little bit of wire. I need to call around to see what I can dump them for locally. Probably not worth the effort on my end. I know you make the MOST money breaking things down as far as they can possibly go, but if that means I'm paying myself $3/hr to break down power supplies for 8 hours then I'm going to take the $24 hit and dump them off whole.



My motherboards. Only 2 large socket a few red/chinese



Finger boards and hard drives. Pretty pathetic haul.



CPU's. Can anyone help me with the big one on the right? It came out of an older Gateway. It had a heatsink on the processor itself where that white contact goop is in the picture, but the processor wouldn't come off the board. I didn't want to break it without asking first. Does the whole thing go in for CPU weight or do I have to cut it or what? Any info would be great.



This was the only casualty of the night. Also the only time I bled. Not bad for 4 hours of work.



Shred going to the yard this morning. The dryer is full of random shred from the storage unit/tonights teardown. I learned the "get on the roof of your cab for best results" technique from DevinTheScrapper. It certainly works well. It's 6:15am and the yard doesn't open until 8. Dunno what I'm gonna do until then... Probably browse SMF and become jealous of all the sweet hauls you guys have dragged to the yard.

Not pictured is the mini fridge that's on the truck as well. Devin must be taller than me.
