CPU scrap

I am not saying there isn't gold value in these but.... every person I've run into doing the cpu for gold content thing usually knew very little about computers and even less about how expensive/dangerous it is to extract the gold. They just lived among piles and pile of old cpus and bits of circuit boards always waiting to cash in one day. That and did drugs. Not all but, many. I've run into a few. I seem to remember a recent new story about some people that killed themselves trying to extract the gold from computer parts. It a internet get rich quick scheme. There are lots of sites about it. I just randomly googled and first one I hit makes it could like a nightmare on step above making drugs in your basement. Which is obviously better money. http://www.finishing.com/188/89p3.shtml .You can get a sense of the guys hanging out on ebay looking for bags of cpu just reading a few posts there.
