My landlord fell into a windfall of 200 plus computers. I know no one can really estimate how much cash can be recovered on them, so i wont ask for an average.
instead just a few peoples yeilds from some computers dating say 2000 on and i can pass that info on.
we both would like the experience, but if it doesnt look all that profitable after expenses ebay might be the better option.
an example of what i mean is: from reading various posts it seems safe to say you can get avout .5 g from a cpu. Some more some less, but it seems like tha figure is usable.
thank you
 
If you want to recover and refine pull all of the boards then scrap the cases $180.00 per ton in my area. Cherry pick the boards for CPUs, accessory cards, and memory, sell the mother boards, cards and memory to refiner after cutting of the fingers. Read about AP to process the fingers followed by HCL / bleach to digest foils.
Read and follow Hoke's book found on many of the signature lines.
