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.
I do things a little different which will affect the total #'s. The DVD/CD's I pull the boards and motors, cases go in steel pile. I break hard drives all the way down, pull the board, and everything else inside get sold separately. I cut the wire off the power supplies and sell them whole to a buyer. The gold ends off the wires go in a bucket for later. The wiring goes as #2. The rest pretty well goes with what your listing.
