My personal take-away from this is, based on $$ for copper, motors & low grade, is that I should not break down power supplies, because that added a huge amount of time and only gained about $4 (net of what I would've sold the power supplies for intact). I think without the time spent on power supplies I'd be more in the $30/hr range.

I agree with you they add a bunch of time. Now I do a quick test if they work they go in the pile to sell whole. Dead ones I cut the wires and put the P/S in the 2nd P/S pile.
