I thought this video was very interesting. The process seems pretty involved and in the end not worth it, I think, considering what he paid for the scrap. I guess that depends on the future market. Still, a good watch.

Also, be careful of the chemicals used and the disposal of same. LEGALLY disposing of these (vs. pouring it down the drain) is another expense.

Yes, very interesting!
Might be worthwhile if a guy had a few wheelbarrows full of PCB's/old microprocessors. Until then, I'll just keep my day job.

All that work for just a gram of gold?... Unless you could invest in bigger equipment that could do a whole lot more, it wouldn't be worth it, and even then, with all that work it may not be worth it...
