Scrapping BCM's, Motherboards & Gold Recovery Items

Business Communications Managers (BCM's) are very much like PC's, scrap wise.
Good value cards with gold fingers, the motherboard and a good mix of items for precious metal recovery.
Safety gear, furnaces, ingot moulds etc that I use or recommend.. www.amazon.com...

Very nice! Those crystals are very nice!!!

[@scrappydoo7887]

This is very interesting 👍 I have been supplied with a good few of these boards and never knew what they were from

[@judybeckner5623]

Thanks for sharing Ben

[@imunique7469]

Very informative info on boards I have been trying to find videos that distinguish low, mid and motherboards and which and what should be kept. Thanks. I would like to learn more on boards what to keep and what not too.

[@anormalusername]

I love your videos and I hope to see more videos of the melting down process, maybe with your typical yield of gold, copper, etc. after you melt down. I'm trying to get into scrapping as a hobby and I enjoy learning about it.

[@theChrisAndHoLLieShow]

Awesome, Thanks! I need to learn this stuff!

[@scraphawk]

Those have a decent amount of gold to be recovered

[@ernestpetzrick7741]

Interesting scrap. I've not come across any of these, but at least I know what they're worth should I see them. Thanks!

[@housebat8797]

You've been spoiling us with videos lately lol

[@bantalee2002]

They are nice goody boxes aren't they.

[@ourodolixo-e]

Nice

[@michaelbenavides5639]

How can you tell the difference between boards from computers and other electronic devices maybe you should do a side by side look

[@jamespalmer5407]

Damn id love to get even a quarter of the stuff you get, i love getting stuff ive never gotten before

[@bantalee2002]

James: Unless you live in the outback,all it takes is to get out of the house and look for it. Ask everyone you see if they have any old electronics sitting about taking up space. offer free pickup of their stuff.

[@ourodolixo-e]

My like

[@Bman10496]

What percentage is the silver that you pull out of the oscillators?

[@eWasteBen]

Not much, the gold oscillators are very good though.

[@SuperNiels77]

Wat are those litle HD like things that slot in too the big slotcards?

[@eWasteBen]

Media Services Processor Expansion Card

[@josephdertinger9857]

what were those crystals again?? what do they do ??? i found bags of them,300 assorted pieces(5-6 model sizes) not with the gold bands, ebay has some listed for good $$$, but no bites on mine as of yet

[@leonardfrankel8992]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_oscillator , I think. tl;dr: they're used in electronics when you need a timed signal of some kind, as far as I know (didn't read my own wiki link ;) )

[@xlovinit]

Ben, how much of that pile at the end would you sell vs how much would you depopulate and keep? Great power tools btw - I use Ryobi too :)

[@eWasteBen]

I'd scrap most of it, power boards are low value so I prefer to keep the copper etc.

[@josephdertinger9857]

hey ben, you don't recover the fans??, other wise cool video's, just wondering about fans

[@eWasteBen]

yeah I normally do take the fans

[@housebat8797]

are power boards the same thing as low grade boards?

[@housebat8797]

Because I know a lot of different buyers call different boards different names

[@eWasteBen]

Yes & No, Depends on buyer. Power boards are generally crt main boards and the heavy green boards with transformers etc. Low grade is usually just light brown boards or boards with no ic chips.

[@housebat8797]

eWaste Ben ah ok thanks for the info my buyer just takes those as low grade :/

[@arodyanksfan]

I have so many PC Mother Boards but have no where to sell them UGH! For me to mail them to board sort I wouldn't make any money.

[@eWasteBen]

sell 'em on ebay in 50 lb lots

[@josephdertinger9857]

still a shipping issue, do they sell??

[@eWasteBen]

local pick up maybe, sell for what board sort buys for
