(HOW TO ) SCRAP OUT A PC AND WHATS INSIDE

Scrapping out a PC involves dismantling the computer to extract valuable components and materials. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Preparation
1. *Ground yourself*: Static electricity can damage components. Touch a grounded metal object or wear an anti-static wrist strap.
2. *Gather tools*: Phillips screwdriver, Torx screwdriver, pliers, wire cutters, and a soldering iron.
3. *Wear protective gear*: Safety glasses and gloves.
Disassembling the PC
1. *Remove the power cord*: Unplug the PC from the power source.
2. *Remove the side panel*: Take out the screws and gently pull the side panel off.
3. *Disconnect internal cables*: Carefully disconnect cables from the motherboard, hard drive, and other components.
4. *Remove the motherboard*: Take out the screws and gently lift the motherboard out.
5. *Remove other components*: Extract the hard drive, power supply, RAM, and other components.
Valuable Components and Materials
1. *CPU (Central Processing Unit)*: Extract the CPU from the motherboard.
2. *RAM (Random Access Memory)*: Remove RAM modules from the motherboard.
3. *GPU (Graphics Processing Unit)*: Extract the GPU from the motherboard or graphics card.
4. *Hard drive*: Remove the hard drive and extract the magnetic disks or solid-state storage.
5. *Copper*: Extract copper from wiring, heat sinks, and other components.
6. *Gold*: Find gold in connectors, switches, and other components.
7. *Silver*: Extract silver from solder, switches, and other components.
8. *Tantalum*: Find tantalum in capacitors and other components.
9. *Aluminum*: Extract aluminum from heat sinks, cases, and other components.
Cleaning and Preparing Components
1. *Clean components*: Remove dirt, dust, and other contaminants from components.
2. *Sort and separate components*: Organize components by type, grade, and condition.
3. *Bundle or package components*: Prepare components for sale by bundling or packaging them.
Selling Components
1. *Research market demand*: Understand what components are in demand and adjust your extraction strategy accordingly.
2. *Find buyers*: Look for buyers online, at local electronics stores, or through specialized recycling centers.
3. *Negotiate prices*: Negotiate prices based on the component's condition, grade, and market demand.
Safety Precautions
1. *Handle components carefully*: Avoid damaging components during extraction.
2. *Use proper soldering techniques*: Avoid overheating components or causing electrical shocks.
3. *Ensure proper ventilation*: Work in well-ventilated areas to prevent inhalation of dust or fumes.

I work for a garbage company and I've been stacking up laptops and cellphone for this reason. If I come across the desk tops I've been grabbing the ram cards and icu chips out of them.. Just don't know if it's really worth the time or not.. I usually do pretty good with regular scrap as of copper and brass

[@bigcountryscrapper6885]

Ya I not sure if it's worth it either but every lil bit helps
