I went ahead and broke down a computer and scaled it up using the prices from Ewasted. Here is what I got:

DVD Drive........................................1.75l bs. @.22 = $.39
HD................................................ .1.25lbs. @1.10=$1.28
Ram.............................................. .05lbs. @14.30=$1.43
Processor...................................... .05lbs. @ $34 =$1.70
Mother Board................................. 1.30lbs.@3.60=$4.68
Case............................................ 8.85lbs.@ .08=$.71
Power Supply............................................ .........=$1

Total............................................. ..................$10.29



So, my numbers matched up pretty good with the numbers from the others. I always like to see the breakdown of things.
That is all assuming a typical P4 computer. You start getting some 386/486 PC's where the CPU's are over $100 a pound, and the bottom line will increase.
