Hello all,
This is my first post here. I know well about gold and PMs in computers, however not know much about other metals. I know hard disks have Al, some stainless steel (some magnetic, some not). How about PCI card brackets? Do you separate those? They are magnetic but a little too soft for steel. Is there any place to find quick guide fom recognizing different metals and alloys?
Welcome shmandl and most of your questions are addressed in other old threads so the very best answer is read the old threads. Its up to your buyer as to what to seperate from the boards(pci for example). Please start a thread in the introduction part of the forum and tell us a little about yourself and experience in scraping. Mike.

Picked up 25 towers today mostly Dels, and was like....wtf am I going to do with these..... Thank you SO much for taking the time out to put all of this info together and to the admins for making it a sticky. Breaking them down and separating them as we speak!
This forum is the best thing since copper...

Do you mean these?
If so, those are just heatsinks. If not, do you have any photos?

Just a quick request could someone post some pics of some low grade boards been scraping awhile just new to the e-waste game. Thanks mark
Better would be get a few more posts in so you include photos. Take good photos of what you are wondering about and start a new thread. For the real answer on the valued of those boards contact your chosen buyer and include photos.Originally Posted by Driver4185
I can not emphasis enough how much easier it is to have good photos to work with. Also there is a sticky thread on how to post photos on the forum. Mike

This resource was suggested by Flimits. It seems to be a very in-depth document of scrapping electronics. Recommended study for anyone starting (and those who have been at it for awhile) in electronics.

People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

So those things that are sometimes screwed to an AL heatsink with legs that go down into the board are also considered an IC chip? Sorry for my bad description.
