computer boards

I'll admit as many as I have scrapped I sometimes have a hard time telling them apart. Now what I do is after the hard drive/cd rom board is removed from the hard drive/cd rom I put them in the appropriate hard drive/cd rom bucket.

even if you have no trouble telling the difference, why handle them an extra time? into the proper bucket it goes the first time you touch it, unless you are do math on yields or something similar.

i should have thought of that from the beginning but i was so happy taken those drives apart and seeing that gold that i just threw everything into a plastic storage container but now i'm facing my day of reckining...sorting them out

I know when i break down computers i have all my bins in front of me and each item goes in the appropriate bin. When it comes to hard drives or CD drives. i just toss those in separate bins and when i have nothing else to do or the bin starts to overflow i just pull those out and sit in front of the tv and go to town. Simple and easy and makes the process easy to see what i have instead of having stuff everywhere.
