Hi I have a friend that just collects nothing but old 8088, 286 and up machines. I asked him one day what he planned on doing with them and he said he was going to recycle the gold?? how much is in them?? enough to buy a cup of coffee...lol I thought that was kind of strange to go around and pick up these old machines to pull a few cards out. He also said the older the machine the more gold in it. He said he pulled a part an old cray mainframe and recovered like $400.00 worth of gold. Maybe I should start doing this for a hobby what do you think?

I don't know very much about that, but I think, he won't earn much money. Thera are lots of people, who have an old x86 at home. There are lots of museums, which have old Computers, much older than the 8088. But, in 100 years, I can imagine, that these computers will be worth lots of money ;-)
