What "low grade" boards are you finding in a computer?




Also, "Copper (anything I could find on boards"... if this means that you're picking copper off pretty much any of the boards in a computer, you are likely devaluing it. Only take off plastic, heatsinks, and things that are not soldered on. You want to clean the board, not strip it.



Read the helpful threads, and good luck!
