Had another successful transaction with EWasted, took a while but that's to be expected, with the weather and whatnot. Only problem I had was I sent in about a pound and a half of ICs, was only paid...

LOL I love this, in white text at the bottom of his description :

You have "power supplies with/without cords" and "power supply BOXES with/without cords"... I think that's what filthy is referring to. On that note, my suggestion is to reduce the redundant items on...

That was probably me, requesting the photos. It's no big deal, just wanted to see what thousands of HDs broken down looks like :D I've been in the process of breaking down the 60 or 70 I had backed...

Those anti-static bracelets for working with computers and other sensitive electronic components are awesome. And dirt cheap... heck, it would probably be easy to make one yourself with scrap you...

Mid grade varies wildly... I've been paid around $2/lb for midgrade, and as low as $.40, all depends on how much low value crap is on it. If you leave everything on, it's power board, and usually...

Remove all the transformers and heavy metals and such, and depending on the number of ICs, palladium monolithics, and such (some have way more than others, I've found... even big ol' socketed EPROMs)...

I don't see any completed listings that have sold for $30 a lb, though there definitely is several pushing $20+ after shipping and such. I think some bidders are hoping to find usable RAM they can...

I'm still on the fence with what I want to do with my stash of dual core/p4 notebooks... probably going to send at least 7 or 8 of them and some RAM to ROK in the near future. I'll let y'all know how...

Lol, no.. grow lights are not illegal in any shape or form :D We may live in a country ruled by laws and those who break them regularly, but it's not quite THAT bad, yet...
As for the bulbs, it...

I actually got one just like your bottom pics, cant remember the brand but it was missing the CPU :( Was an i486. Anyways, the board had 8 RAM slots and they were filled (yay!) but upon closer...

Wow, those are some really cool/big transformers! I've actually seen one of these machines before, there's a bunch of granite sheds around here. I don't think it was the exact same model, but...

Did you ever post pics of this mountain of HDs? Or the parts? That must be one gigantic ball of magnets :D If I missed it, toss me a link, I wanna see! Seriously, you could be the real life Dr....

YES I have seen that before! Somehow I missed that first pic or just immediately forgot about it. Definitely a SUN connector... the exposed part is a bit unfamiliar though, the ones I remember were...

Pretty sure I've seen a LOT of those on EBay for gold recovery the last couple months. Many pounds. I've always wondered what they came from... I have no idea, but something to do with satellite or...

Yeah I definitely don't intend to scrap the good stuff.. anything that might get scrapped would be things like old batteries, parts, and such that's just too banged up to sell. But as far as the...

Well good, glad to have managed to make a somewhat unique thread on cats :D That explains why I can't find much info on them... I should probably look through all the mufflers, I just looked at a...

There's about a dozen that look just like this 0585 Harley Touring Exhaust Header Pipe Two Into One Catalytic Converter Stock U | eBay

and about 2 dozen that look like this :
HARLEY-DAVIDSON...

I feel so wrong starting a thread about catalytic converters... but I can't find any info on this site nor on Google or EBay, though I may just be using the wrong search terms somehow.
Anyways, I...

I stand corrected :) I'm kind of biased against Dell (as well as Intel and to a smaller extent Microsoft, at least they've done some really good things with their massive profits) and I seemed to...

Rest assured, Dell is certainly making money off this. Stripped or not. They wouldn't do this, otherwise, guaranteed. Don't forget there's a (large amount of) lead and ABS plastic in those...

Woah, woah... floppy boards pay 2.50-motherboard? I think the question was referring to the smaller "hard disk" floppy drives, not the larger. The ones that are usually brown on one side, or a dark...
