The value in scrap computers is not just the gold content, but rather all of the other metals added in. Aluminum, cadmium, gold, silver, platinum, lithium, etc.. My company is a scrap electronics recycling company, and it is quite profitable. Don't focus on just the gold (even though there's a lot of it in there). Hope this helps.

@BillKville

great point...

@marketingtube 10k, (carat) gold is only 41% actual gold, so to get just 1 gram,

(1/33 of an ounce), of 24 carat pure 99.9% gold would take approx. 50 computers

per gram, or $48. Then you have to figure cost of chemicals to extract it.

Unless gold goes to $5,000 per oz to me this is a hell of a GOOCHER.

You'd make more profit shoveling sh*t behind an elephant parade.

heres an intresting thought the human body contains gold about one mg for a person about 170 so it would only take one thousand people to get one gram or 28 thousand people to make one ounce

@twistedfx69420 you lie right through your teeth

[tibrucee6969]

@twistedfx69420 27.6 grams to be exact there is 28 grams in an ounce.

To get $55 of gold, you would need gold plated items totaling 0.8 m2 total

surface area. That is a lot of gold plated parts. Here's the math.

Gold plating is usually about 20 micro inches thick (20 millionths of an inch or 1/19762 cm), To yield a gram of gold worth $55. 1 Gram of gold is .3727 cm3 ( a cube .3727 cm on each side) split down to 1/19762 cm thick sections would yield a surface area of .3727cm2 x 19762 or 7365 cm2 or almost 1 meter squared.

How can this be economical?

@twistedfx69420 3-6 grams??!! Where did you get that from? Read my other post.

one pound of Pentium 4 cpu pins but older seramic prosesors like pentium 2 and under have a lot more gold

[twistedfx69420]

well there are 3-6 grams of gold in each computer and there are almost 29 grams in a oz so its gonna take atleast 10-13 computers

@GooglFascists dammit i took a drink of coke as i read ur comment and now i have coke all over my laptop that was straight to the point and HILARIOUS...

[MrBookiekiller]

there is lots of gold plated pieces in each PC thats only 5% gold the best gold is n the pentium processorse thats 12 k gold real ! small pins and contact pieces ! YOU need about 50 PCs total all metals to get a nice pay day ! YOU have the steel  at laest 20 lbs thats $2.40 Coper at laest 2 lbs in each one not just the wires the trnistors also thats $7 ! Aluminum at laest 3 lbs Thats $1.60 gold silver you need to get 1 ounce each then take to refiner to get $100's NOT jewlers or others
