Comment on If you're fond of restoring 30-year-old PCs, but then you see some old PC parts being obliterated by scrappers just to get small pitiful pinches of gold.

Well there is a LOT of old electrics and they’ll be able to pull a lot more out of them than gold, and they should mostly be recycled as much as possible. There should still be more than enough left for hobbyists to restore, no? Check mexico, there are still millions of old devices out there, even in the wild, but especially in the smaller computer shops
