I did not see anything about video cards, are those considered circuit boards? To maximize profit should I be taking apart the hard drives or shipping them whole and any other tips for parts you find in a 10 year old computer.
spend some time the forum...there is a sticky thread on identifying computer parts...this is help you TREMENDOUSLY.
The answer on the cards in computers is for the most part they fall into the category of "finger boards". You just need to pull off any large aluminum heatsinks or fans.
AND YES, do NOT ship those whole...take about 5-10 min to pull apart for the goodies. sell wire, power supply and case locally....possibly CD drives and hard drives as well if you have a buyer (I do pull the hard drive boards and send them to Mario however).
