    Ok after some surprising prices at the junkyard and getting the final of what ewasted bought my electronics for, here is the break down.

    20 computers =

    20 computers =



    277LBs of Steel at 5 to 10 cents/LBs pending day = $22.50
    101LBs of Electric Motors at 30 cents/LBs = $30.30
    014LBs of Aluminum Heatsinks at 55 or 60 cents/LBs = $4.80
    003LBs of #3 Ins Copper at 35 cents/LBs = $1.05
    004LBs of Radiators/Heatsinks at $1.25/LBs = $5.00
    003LBs of #2 Ins Copper at 75 cents/LBs = $2.25
    2.09LBS of IDE Ends at $2.15/LBs = $4.49
    0.69LBs of HDD Boards at $11.25/LBs = $7.76
    0.42LBs of Green Fiber/AL Cap at $9/LBs = $3.78
    1.36LBs of Mixed memory at $15.50/LBs = $21.08
    0.05LBs of AMD Ceramic at $37/LBs = $1.85
    25.5LBs of Motherboards at $3.75/LBs = $95.63
    5.6LBs of Fingerboards at $4.45/LBs = $24.92
    4LBs of Server Boards at $4.25/LBs = $17.00
    - $19.28 Advanced Shipping
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    = $245.71
    -$80.00 Initial Cost
    -$20.00 GAS & Lunch
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    T O T A L $145.71


    That would be all profit and I still have 4 laptops and a few boards I didnt send in. Not figuring in possibly another 50 from the laptops, $145 for roughly 2 hours of time was well worth it.
