Now I am fairly set in how things for me are going and what direction I want to go. Take everything out and case goes in shredder pile. Save any components for possible resale. Wire in bin. Motherboards get CPU, Ram, Finger cards, Heat sinks, Socketed IC, and Tantalum capacitors removed and binned separately. Hard drives get binned and later the board, platters and magnets removed and binned separately(I have a thing for magnets so I just have to remove them). Finger cards get the gold trimmed off as I plan on recovering the gold once I hit fifty pounds of them. CD/DVD drives get board taken off and binned. Cases go in shredder. Porn DVD that persons left in player gets removed with gloves, watched, then sold to another pervert. I sell almost everything off pretty quickly. I do hold on to the high dollar CPUs as they don't take up much room and I will refine those when I do the gold fingers. That is part of my scrap breakdown, for now. It could change next week If I learn something new or find a different component that I feel will get me closer to where I want to be. Read as much as you can. Contact buyers and ask them what they want. Do your own math on breakdown for dollars and time. Good luck.
