    the biggest black hole with pc's are the carcases.

    they weigh the same as the rest of the stuff together.

    if you can get the internal components only you have a great deal.

    strip all the internals out and buy at a flat rate per lb. maybe .50 /lb

    all the internal components have good value as is, some even more if you strip it down.

    see easyrecycles web page for pricing and to get an idea of what to sort where.
