yes you can get your money out of most comps very easily, only problem is it can be alot of extra some times of just a little, rarely have i had a computer that came in at under 5$ value.
One I got from the trash co. was only the steel carcass and a power supply. I didn't pick them apart, I just paid $1. ea. for them all. I wasn't going to pay much more cause I'll have time in them cutting them apart to get the goodies out.
Also any dvdrw drives I sell for $18 to $20 bucks shipped on ebay and have no problems
PTS, do you use a flat rate small box to ship those dvd drives, or a padded bubble envelope?
now i just need 7 more gigs of ram 2 processors of the right size and i got my first trash built gaming system

You know, we have been thinking about hiring a person just to list things on ebay. We could start with this bucket of over 400 sticks of DDR 512mb ram
