    minute, look at the price of a cheap computer. Metal recovery has to be done on a massive scale to make it profitable.

    "Interest rates, the price of money, are the most important market. And, perversely, they’re the market that’s most manipulated by the Fed." - Doug Casey

    The pentium pro is the king of the heap at about a gram of gold , I remember back in 1996- ish I built my first PC from scratch based on a pentium pro 200 .

    I still have that tower and it still works the last time I checked it booted up 0S/2 4.0 image

    Several ounces, if you have a fleet of semi-tractor trailer loads full of 'em.

    When there used to be quantities of printed circuit boards in them, there was more, but still not very much. Cheers, RickO
