Hello, /sci/. I have removed some connectors from a circuit board, and I suspect that these might contain a certain percentage of gold.

Apart from asking in a store, how can I find out how much gold they contain?

>> No.2123819

very little

Bump.

None, practically.
In fact, if you got one hundred computers, the base value of the computers would be more than the value of the gold they contain.

More than pay dirt from a mine, less than you can probably extract profitably. Unless you already extract gold from pay dirt?

Want some mercury to make into amalgm to do that?

The total amount of gold in a computer's parts is worth about $3-5

And with macfags, and those who buy supra-expensive sports cars that can't drive for shit, and people who pay $50 for a t-shirt with the company logo on it, and...

tl;dr it fits a lot of shit.
