I'm wondering if the boards themselves have any value, or is it just the components. What I mean is, I was planning on pullin off all the chips, pins, capacitors, resistors etc from each board I get...

So I got these at work...

I'm Al, I'm 28, from Sudbury, ON. I just started scrapping as a hobby, something to pass the time in the garage for an hour or so a day. I'm completely new to this and hope to be...
