  those people are barbaric, you could use those beautiful computer parts to create a super computer. many super computers, actually, and you can archive the old monitors for future use.

  What happens with the used chemicals?? The garbage dump? And I’ll bet that the power used for all that electrolytic metal recovery is NOT produced in a green manner.

  Yeah! Go to the chemist NOW, buy HNO3 and HCl and dump your old processor in it. Take your zippo, melt the gold to a nice nugget and take it to the next bank. Buy yourself a brandnew car. Invite your best friends to a splendid dinner and convince them to hand you over their old computers. Call Obama and tell him: “You were right. Yes I can!”

  “The only metal on processors is gold”
  Never seen nor heard such nonsense. Who is the author of this? Goebbels?
