    I think the general consensus was that it's too difficult to ge the gold out.

    Do a search on here, there's an awesome thread by him showing the gold yield from different model CPUs.

    Fairly nasty chemicals though in the recovery - it's not a kitchen bench activity if you want to keep your eyes or the skin on your hands.
