Have them ready, I can promise nothing, but if I get a chance, I will fly by, if that's OK?

Happy to pretty much take as many as are available, and disperse, wherever?

Hero! 'Tis for the Oxfam shop.

And somebody just pm'd me and deleted it...?

I've been thinking about having a go at extracting the gold out of my collection of dead PC's. I know it is pretty miniscule, but it should be an interesting experiment.
More sensibly there are places that do this commercially and pay a fair rate for scrap boards: something like £5/kg last I looked.

it is a truly filthy business to separate the metal from the plastics and other materials and then to separate the gold from the solder etc

whether by oxidation or solution chemistry refining gold from a metal mix is messy

Nah. Messing around with old cooking fat is filthy. Gold refining is clean and sparkly... just very, very nasty.

If there happens to be a spare pc available, and if Nick is coming in the York direction, we'd be delighted to give a PC a home...... No problem if not. Thanks

Cathryn has a pm, and first call on the pcs. When she replies, folk in York will get a nudge. I'm not ignoring you Pils, I have no laptop.
