Scrapping PC Towers: Hiding the Hottest E-Waste



In today’s video, a friend reached out with a special request: he needs power supplies for his latest projects. I’ve got a stack of five PC towers on the bench, ranging from standard Dells to a tricky Apple unit and even a specialized medical computer. My goal is to carefully extract those power supplies while scrapping everything else for scrap value. Join me as we hunt for “the hot stuff”—high-grade motherboards, CPUs, RAM, and graphics cards—and see what hidden treasures are tucked away inside these old machines.

  1. A huge thank you to all my members and subscribers for tuning in and supporting the channel! I really appreciate you joining me for this PC tower teardown. I’m hoping we’ll be back to our normal pace of dumpster diving content very soon, but the mission to get the yard completely cleared of all this scrap continues!

  2. Hi. E waste. Wow. So much work for so little earning. The only one to make money is to buy and sell boards. And if you have the knowledge to collect the gold you are the winner. Great video like and hype

  3. Merchant metals I was just wondering if you would demonstrate how powerful those new electric wire cutters are and get a chicken leg and see if it'll cut a chicken leg in half if so😮 that will definitely cut your finger off.
    Be careful

  4. As someone who gave up scrapping to only do e-waste the best bits are the memory and cpu , Especially old ceramic cpus Ram $50.00 a pound which is a average of twenty sticks . I have 5 e-waste recycling companies in my state . So I don't have to ship anything to Board sort . BTW the little screw studs your taking off the daughter boards ( Graphic cards, modems ,soundcards ) are brass . And these cards are worth more then most motherboards .
