Laptop scrapping

Hi,

What useful parts/scrap metals can I get from in old laptops?

These are ancient dinosaurs pre-i3 so aren't worth much as complete machines by the time you factor in shipping and handling.

Thought about stripping off the copper alloy coolers as there is quite a lot of Cu in them.

At this time of year I can plate it out for nothing using solar.

Maybe the CPUs, Wifi cards etc are worth something?
