the guy i talked to showed me an area that would take in computers to get an oz of gold and it was about 3'x4'x6 that's a 4x6 area 3' high now thats the monitors too keyboards and think the companie's don't have them little pee shooters like we do the computers i see have these huge components so i would say around ten complete computers maybe one more if they are small. the newer they are the more gold they have. crack a few open and take the gold pieces out and see if you get anything out of them .if you got around ten computers and dpending on thier age you might have a few dollars there.melt it down and make a nugget.

from what the guy told me he does is he burns the boards and stuff and that leaves him with the gold connections then he cleans them up a bit then melts them down. the fiber in the boards give into the heat before the gold melts .

tommy...you did a great job on using recycled "things" to make you a comfortable place to hang out. You are definitely a creative person.
