Question on board grading

[bcoop]

I am curious about some board grading. More specifically Video boards that have processors on them or ones that appear to be "chip" heavy. Do they follow into the "finger" board category or do you classify them differently?

Pics of some of the boards in question.

Also I know there has been talk of this but I just wanted some clarification. Does pulling all removable chips degrade the board enough to warrant a change in grading? Is it really worth it to pull the chips? I know they are worth more per lb, but was curious if it was something you "docked" on your grading or would rather not have done to the boards.

Thanks

High grade server....and yes do not remove the chips.

how much is insulated wire worth if you strip all the copper out and bring the insulation in to sell.

that fiberglass is worth about the same.

Roger that, I have just read a few threads where people have stated that if the eproms are removable then do so. Just wanted some clarification.

depends on your buyer. Some will downgrade some dont.

If you remove them then its no longer high grade server but just desktop board.
