Keep the videos coming. I've been watching you been for about 6-7 years now. And I can't wait for each time you put out another video. I do wish you could do more street's trapping videos I love them but I also love the ones at home
Hi Ben! Nice episode. Just in the end, what you have is a centrifuge rotor in a biology laboratory. It is probably aluminum alloy. they turn at a very high speed 10000 rotations per minute, you collect cellular material thanks to this. They are extremely expensive.
For pack rats like me who hold on to outdated tech too long, that "sleeve" on the graphics card is something I save and then put back on the card when I no longer have it installed. If I had to guess, that's what happened with that Radeon. You don't even have to save the original protector since the PCIe slots are standard sizes so the next one you buy likely will have a protector you can use. Love these videos and your style! Keep up the great work!
Nice long video, thanks Ben! It's disappointing that there is no more free recycling, this should be a government department since the scandals with Woolworths etc.with recyclable products (REDCycle scandal).. But love the video :)
The silicon graphics computers are selling at +/-$500.00 CDN and the keyboards are selling at +/- $195.00 CDN. Nice find! They expensive SG computers are the more square ones. They sell at +/- $1500.00 a piece...and the mac powerbook 190cs with all the trimmings sells for +/-$200.00 CDN...
That's some very good scrap and don't forget that those centrifuge have electric motor in them excellent video awesome content thank you for a nice long video six stars brother
All that RAM, OMG!!! WOW, titanium centrifuges - very cool. LOL, I just got one as well but it was from a veterinarian's office, cheap thing made in China. I wonder why those were made of titanium? Those SG computers should be very nice. A fun week for sure.
these week vids are cool 😊 thought on the card recyclers, wonder if they ever put them in circles? wella boxing ring! 😂😂😂 sorry 😂😂😂 nice one with all the sorting!
Hi Ben what maybe boring to you is just the opposite to me. I could watch this type of video all day long and never get bore. For me it's learning things I never knew before. What to look for and what's not worth the effort.
Glad to see you back in action, we've been missin' your scrappin' wisdom! Would be nice if you could pop in audibally(if that's a word) on Scrappin' Irish's Sunday forum, but it's what, a 15 hour difference or something like that? Nice video, but damn that was a lot of cardboard!
The direct removal of iron impurities from titanium products is impossible by the current industrial technology. Therefore, recycling of titanium scrap containing large amounts of iron by remelting is difficult. One of the many remarkable metals that can be recycled as many times as possible without losing any of their properties or general quality is titanium. Titanium is mainly recycled using a method called vacuum arc remelting. Since the metal can't be melted in an open-air furnace, it is instead processed using this method. Recycled titanium is not as valuable as copper, but it is more valuable than stainless steel and other ferrous metals. Good for you. They seemed quite heavy, so...a couple of bucks there for you!
Looking at you unload the Chunky stainless steel makes me think of how cool a compactor would be so you condense! Then solving the issue of moving them. You could something like that on so many things too! Not much room to work with but if it could safe twice as much space then the room for the compactor would make room for itself.
yea good stuff ben! Id defo make sure to keep those inverters - very handy for those pesky oldschool USA PCs that have the older style switchmode PSUs... the voltage is one thing, but the freqs also gotta match, and they should do the job nicely! Still look in great nic too! Great work - seems like yer in good health, too. Very glad to see ^_^
Great video Ben some interesting items there, those spinning things you have the blue and black ones can't be aluminum because you hit the lid with the bottom on one of them and they ping also what is the box with all the buttons I think they are by your scrapping bench.
To know for sure if its titanium you have to smack/scrape it on a concrete floor titanium gives little sparks its worth a little bit more than stainless 316 so its a special metal but not so spectaculair haha
Better to scrap the laptops if there be just as much, or more, value in scrapping them than selling them on to a buyer. Get the near obscelete barstids out of circulation. You contribute to streamlining the second-hand market. You eliminate work either at your end or further down the line with refurbishing. Starting with the RAM you get a materials flow through the recycling streams sooner rather than later. Better that than just selling them on, as is, to keep them moving.
If there are 3 of the stepdown transformers, I would check the Silicon Graphics PC to make sure that they are not just 120 volts AC before you plug one into 220 volt AC. Since they came from USA and looks like the power supplies are not standard PS and probably are not auto switching or have a switch to switch between for 120vac and 220vac.
1:11:06 a comment on this; in retrospect, there were past opportunities that may have been beneficial to capitalize on. However,... your current work and videos still serve as not only inspiration but education to would-bes who *have* capitalized on such an opportunity. There might not be a felt value gain directly, but being able to virtually shadow an experienced scraper is very valuable learning for us would-bes, wannabes and small timers who are looking to up our games. Thanks for the last eight years plus of virtual apprenticeship you've given to your viewers, and for the millions of dollars of value retained by all the fledgling scrappers whom you've directly inspired. 🇦🇺👷🏼♂️🍻👨🏼🌾 🇺🇸
I got some titanium from of all things, a pool heater. I thought it was stainless steel, but the yard foreman picked it out as different from the rest and when they tested it with the gun...sure enough, titanium...they still paid about the same as stainless, but it was only 3lbs so I didn't complain As far as melting it, it has a very high melting temp so you'd need quite a furnaceto melt it.
By the way...as far as your vintage collection goes, have you had any contact with set dressers from the film industry?..maybe a nice short term rental market?
I own a junk removal company in Virginia. I am always taking away high value stuff like I took away 3 T shirt presses worth 1500$. All 3 of them work and look like they are new. If you look trust me you can find good value stuff even dumpster diving the right dumpsters and you will find expensive stuff in the trash.
@@TheAdamk9111 I think it is the different trash system. In Germany it is unpossible to Mix trash. Like metal and electronics and plastic. You also cannot put it on the street and the town will collect it. As privat person you have to bring it to a dump site, where everything is sortet for free. It is also Not allowed to take away others trash by law. And so we also dont have such big dumpster, where you can put so much stuff in.
Actuallly it is a little bit sad to see, that all those PCs are scraped. Because with an SSD and GPU they would work well. 8 Dollar for the scrap, but the costs for environment... Reuse instead recycling...all those good CPUs..
Hey man, I been following your channel for a while now, I work at a scrap yard here in new Zealand but am slowly starting to set up my own scrap metal business, wouldn't mind getting in contact with ya at some point as I have a few questions on how ya got started and what stuff was worth getting or too time consuming when Starting up ect, no stress if ya can't find the time, will continue on to enjoy your content and gain knowledge while watching for the meantime 😎
you get the electronics, but it looks like you need more hands to handle that amount smooth 🤷♀ and probably somewhere else with more space, with more space you could maybe get containers instead of that plastic-bins🤧sure it would cost to upgrade, but I think it would be worth it
The helper is not about them paying off their wage with their tasks, it is about freeing you up from doing those low value tasks and allowing you to concentrate on what actually makes you the most money and keep things processing.
I know im late but why not use driveway space? You could have piled up the stainless on the sides of the driveway and it wouldnt be in the way too much
Porque não deu ré e chegou mais perto para que de dentro da Van pudesse erremeçar para ganhar mais tempo? Fora isso quando posta vídeo novo eu acompanho, parabéns! Há quanto pagam pelo kilo do papelão?

These "Week in the life of Ben" videos are fantastic. Loving them, please keep them coming! 👍
Great video, it would be cool to see you clean out your garage as a video.
I second this, the garage clean videos were my introduction to his channel
@@thadofalltrades I didn't know he already did them, i'ma check them out.
@@OttomaticM yea last year I think it was, he got the garage cleaned out.

Great video, Ben!! Love these long ones!! Congrat's on getting those old, rare towers! Thumbs up!! See you next week! Jim in Phoenix.
YES!!!! I was hoping Ben is gonna do another one! I am so excited to watch "another episode"! Thank you Ben, and have a nice Sunday everybody!
I live to watch your videos. I love scrap and love how you show us how to do it.
Nice long video, thanks Ben!
It's disappointing that there is no more free recycling, this should be a government department since the scandals with Woolworths etc.with recyclable products (REDCycle scandal)..
But love the video :)
Another excellent video Ben!!! Thank you.
I can just imagine the guy that was hoarding the SG machines watching this and screaming at the screen 😂
Oi Ben love that way of posting. Great video 🤙
Edit : the titanium stuff are centrifuge I think
Hi Ben another great video As always enjoy your hard Work attitude stay safe Out there bro

Can you imagine what all that RAM is worth for re-use!!!! Much more than as scrap.
Great video, need to throw in a scrap steel run as well. Thanks fir taking us along
Love Youre videos man. I am just waiting for more. Best regards mate.
If you hit titanium with a grinder it'll give you a bright white spark.
Awesome video ben.
Hope you are doing good. 👍

We do take titanium at the scrap yards. The thing is we don't get it too often and it takes a long time to collect a shipable amount.
Nice one Ben, hope you got a bit done over the rest of the weekend.
these week vids are cool 😊

без слёз смотреть невозможно
Someone actually gave you those SGI computers wow... thats a nice score!
Cellulose is a penny a pound where I am. That's what a paper recycling plant pays. All those boxes would be bought as cellulose.

loved it
you need an oxygen free environment to melt or weld titanium or it reacts with the oxygen in air and catches fire
6:49 i loveeeee laptops 😂
Great video
Apparently titanium is only worth 6.25 usd/kg at the moment
Amazing to me how much value people give away. That would never happen in the US
And twice never in Germany. 😊
Stupid country the same in uk must be recycled

@@marcelx8369 That is interesting I did not know about that in Germany.
My yard buys titanium. It's rather pricey, too. Gotta use the xref gun to figure out what to pay though.
silverback amd blackback macs 😂
perhaps the Re-Pair-Guys be interested in your 'Black-Covers',
isolation-transformers are for those that Re-Pair as well, for Safety ...

8 Dollar for the scrap, but the costs for environment...
Reuse instead recycling...all those good CPUs..
the core 2 duo ones are pretty much dead now unfortunately
Ja, thats true...
love it
Those titanium things are called centrifuges. They are used to separate liquids by weight.
On eBay those Silicone Graphics computers range from $400.00 to $2,000.00 sold! Wow, what a score!

If I'm not mistaken, windows 10 is free, it will say it needs to be activated and it will have limited access
It's time to give the garage and backyard a good clean... disorder and chaos reign
G'day Ben. When you cash in items originally kept for gold recovery, do you buy gold with the proceeds?
Go Ben go 😊😊😊
Need the beckman TLA models for the titanium ones.
Empty boxes are a big hassle
I have a wood stove so I cut them down and use a few tiny pieces to start my fires if I have no paper. Takes a lot of time tho definitely a hassle.
just loaded pickup bed with cardboard for recycling center. Must be a years worth. Certainly do like the reclaimed space!
55:54 that voltage converter. I am not sure what type of plug that is. We don’t use that type in North America

inverters for powering that yank equipment which run on 110 volts
The O2s are 800 US all day long.
Ben, hire someone to help you.
be nice get pay by doing right thing
old Thinkpads , oh noooo😵💫
I just did some research on the Silicon Graphics computers. Wow I had no idea they were so expensive. Even the keyboards are selling for $180 a piece.
if i were u i'd keep the silicon graphics cases, those are worth selling.
aweszzzome 👍
Not in the habit of spending other peoples money, but is it possible to move to house with a BIG building out back? Less stress
Titanium steel is 35 cents a pound here in America Bud
JA-20.1 Fixed-Angle Rotor, Aluminum, 32 x 15 mL, 20,000 rpm.. dont know where the worker got the titanium from.. maybe someone told him
$560.00 to 3,500.00 each for pcs. .30 to .40 cents for titanium
you get the electronics, but it looks like you need more hands to handle that amount smooth 🤷♀ and probably somewhere else with more space, with more space you could maybe get containers instead of that plastic-bins🤧sure it would cost to upgrade, but I think it would be worth it

Good afternoon from keavy Kentucky. Do you need some more help
Você deveria ir direto na reciclagem e se livrar desse aço inoxidável, economizaria bastante trabalho futuro,

titanium is very salable and very valuable
20 a kilo
Titanium is very light, possibly lighter than ally
Pq não doa alguns leptops
today i sell a mother board and change over for newest rams and good sell rams and procesors :) ddr4 8GB ntb :D in this package
Ben when do you find time to edit these vlog, mate.
Sooo much of this stuff could be restored and flipped.
I'm sure it said 2011 on them pc towers
Porque você não separa as baterias em um recipiente e leva para reciclagem, pois assim não existe o risco de contaminação

Good think when this guy find Like i 5 , i7 CPU
5 us dollars a kilo for titanium
