@@matthewsalvador9783 You have to collect a LOT of CPUs and card gold fingers to collect any substantial amount. Dozens minimum, hundreds would be better. Roughly 0.001% of the total weight is gold. The 6.7g they get here is worth about $375. Usually we would send our e-waste to China and they would pay kids to use these acids on our scrap so they can scrape by, but lately China has started refusing all our waste. What we do with it now, who knows. You can't even make minimum wage in the US washing the gold out of this stuff, it's about the equivalent of collecting aluminum cans for a nickel each.

Those Altera boards that were daisy chained on the top with cables are data acquisition boards which are still used in older industrial SEM microscopes and medical EEG equipment, worth about 500 euro's each in unknown condition (refurbed up to 1200...). Some would say that it's old ISA crap but these microscopes cost 250 to 350k, the dedicated hardware is still maintained by a lot of specialized companies.

What I'm saying is, even though all the stuff brought to the dump was being put in the garbage, the owners of the dump didnt want us taking anything... any chance of us getting something free and potentially fixing it to work again they didnt like that idea. imagine expensive items that you otherwise wouldnt be able to afford. But If you fix it, then it's free... Well the bosses actually fired people for doing that. Even though the bosses pay money for the weight of the garbage that they need to bring to another landfill...so anything we took would decrease the weight of their garbage so they would pay less money to get rid of the garbage.. it seems like it's a win win situation..should version fair for everyone. But thats exactly the problem, the wealthy people dont like being fair. They dont like seeing the little man make small wins for himself.

[@berniecruz8405]

Did the math and found out that after all that's involved and the small amount of gold retrieved, the cost would not be worth the effort. Maybe back in 2008-2009 when gold was around $2000 /ounce this process would be worth the effort, but not today at Gold prices today.

[@AlexAyoub_]

Hmm, I did the math, too, and he is still making around $200 in profit if he is getting high quality (24K) gold out of the ordeal. Frankly, if you are doing this regularly enough and buying bulk in your acids (none of these materials are expensive at all), you could increase profits fairly nicely. Also, $2000 an ounce comes out to be around $70.50 a gram, even at ~$40 a gram today, the returns are not bad.

[@berniecruz8405]

@@AlexAyoub_ I don't know how much you earn hourly, but all the work involved just to get out $70 a gram? Bottom line, it comes down to how many hours it takes. Time is money and money takes time. So, for me, if this whole process is not producing $100/hr, then for me at least, this would be a waste of time.

[@johnterpack3940]

@@berniecruz8405 According to the calculator I just checked he got $263 worth of gold out of that batch. My two questions are, how long did it take and how much did he leave behind? If I could pull down $200+ guaranteed daily with just a few hours of actual labor I'd be all over it. I don't get that kind of guarantee with my real job. I'm certain the process in the video could be streamlined and I'm certain he left gold behind because he didn't crack open any of the ICs, which use gold just like CPUs do. There might have been $300, or more, in gold in those PCs. He also didn't even try to extract copper. It's not worth as much as gold, obviously. But it's much more abundant in a computer. I'd go after every penny I could get if I were to try this.

When you spend more on money recovering the gold than the money you would've made selling the parts to collectors on eBay

[@lamppost904]

mmm, no those computer parts aren't probably anything a collector would want since its already not working. the cost of the chemicals used are also cheap or easily made with household items

[@largepoodle6036]

All this is dookie except for the gold, so yeah, when I'm done extracting the gold, do what you want with it

[@LegoTimeLaps]

6.7g is like 300-400$

[@jeffdishong7095]

If....you find buyers. There are billions... literally of these chips around. You just need to know where to look. I recover gold from tens of thousands every month

Muchas gracias por la publicación de tan valiosa información (literalmente) hice los cálculos del valor obtenido al cambio y a la cotización del oro hoy 17/may/2020 y serian algo asi como $373.86 USD, si bien el trabajo realizado para obtener esos 6.7 gramos de oro no es demasiado, no creo que sea rentable a largo plazo como un negocio estable, pues se debería de buscar mucho desperdicio con las mismas características aqui descritas, y debido a las variables de cada país en cuanto a desecho de equipo eléctronico y a las implicaciones de trabajar con los quimicos necesarios, creo que este tipo de giros empresariales serian muy pero muy específicos, y en lo personal me gustaría hacerlo como un hobby que como un negocio a largo plazo.... Como dije, muy buen información, ahora sabemos que el costo de los equipos no es por la tecnología en si, mas bien es por los materiales utilizados, en este caso el oro, saludos! Thank you very much for the publication of such valuable information (literally) I made the calculations of the value obtained for the change and the price of gold today May 17, 2020 and it would be something like $ 373.86 USD, although the work done to obtain those 6.7 grams of Gold is not too much, I do not think it will be profitable in the long term as a stable business, since a lot of waste should be sought with the same characteristics described here, and due to the variables of each country in terms of disposal of electronic equipment and the implications to work with the necessary chemicals, I think that this type of business would be very, very specific, and personally I would like to do it as a hobby rather than a long-term business .... As I said, very good information, now we know that the cost of the equipment is not for the technology itself, but rather for the materials used, in this case gold, regards!

Imma find our ancient family computer that we bought way back in 2006

[@bantalee2002]

You will need to find older computers then that for those old chips. Idk maybe you might find the smaller INTEL chips in computers from around that time.

[@everennui1]

You could make way more selling those 386 and 486 cpus to people looking to build retro DOS gaming PCs.

[@isokessu]

Why buy old PC to play retro games. You can play old games with new computer if you press ctrl+alt+delete and don't let the program/old game use too much of the modern CPU. You can see "how to" videos for this from KZbin. If this is too hard, then there is these new versions of ps1 and other retro consoles that are cheap and make less elecricity bill because they're smaller than before the millenium.

[@md.shamimreza5064]

excellent video

[@DerekVaden]

With the computer narrating voice it feels like the equivalent of a human telling a robot how to dismantle and chemically breakdown a human for its organs
