Just tore down 2 main frame servers I got from a scrap yard the other day got 20 of these CPUs out of them (18 of the smaller ones & 2 of the larger ones) along with the plastic thing (loaded with gold wires) that makes the connection between the CPU & the board.
The plastic things (that make the connection between the CPU & the board have about .65 grams of wire each so thats about 13 grams of wire recovered in the dish - not sure yet if that equals a 13 gram gold yeald - if so the wires alone will more then pay back what I payed for the entire tuck load of computers I bought that included the 2 servers
Anyone have any info on recovery &/or value of the CPUs - is it just the gold plating on the bottom - or are there gold wires under the lid &/or inbedded in the ceramic ?
