Got 3 computera from my parents. I used tuo use them as a kid but tore em down anyways lol
Oldest was a p2 then a p3 and p4. Took me about 10-15 mins per computer. I guess working in a mechanic shop helps with disassembly LOL still have one more to finish. Ran out of light in my crappy, half finished work area... Aka garage.
Second pic
I've done lots as well my friend, and haven't sold any as of yet. Cold winter days and quiet eves. is when I tackle these, keep getting those cars while the getting is good.
If you don't mind me asking, where do you plan to sell these? I'm still working on "gaylord quantities" for EDI when I have enough. Figure it should be a good payday though.
Why the jump to computers?
Good job you will get faster the more you do. I love rhe old hard drives and dvd/cd drives the boards are usually the size of the drives.
You will get faster. Should take no more than 5 minutes. Especially if you have a stack of 20 of the exact same computer. Thanks for sharing your fun. Now you need to start getting a bunch of little tubs for separating and then some bigger tubs when you get some more.
get good enough on a jackhammer and you'll be bustin em down in seconds flat! ; )
Do you do any Ebaying at all?
is that an ISA modem 1st pic top left? ISA fingers are fatter/wider than PCI ones
What brand of sound card is that? third down on left same pic
those two might be worth a glance to see prices, you can find numbers on them to check, i.e. USR 5407, Creative Soundblaster 4407 etc. In search bar google their numbers and add Ebay to the keywords for a shortcut to listings
Cars are gettin harder and harder to get. And prices are in the dumper for cars so im lookin for something more profitable. Im searchin and still gonna do cars if i get em. Its just slow right now.Quote:

poke a flat screwdriver or two in there and twist
with your buying feedback you'll have a head start on selling, people will know you understand their point of view (some don't recommend using the same account for some reason, but I did, and had no problem. I believe it was because they'd got into squabbles on ebay forums and had their adversaries buy cheap stuff simply for the purpose of givin em a neg ; )
you can remove the brackets from the finger cards also depending on how you are going to sell them, also need to remove the io shield from the motherboard, nice breakdown
Good stuff Jord. You'll get faster as you get more in.
Hey, gus is back..or just lurking..either way...welcome back!
Sirscrapalot - Computer, cooler, big hammer...fun breakdowns.
