Sony PlayStation (original fatty) aka ps1 aka psx.
This is why boardsort generally buys "videogame motherboards" as peripheral. The last pic says it all.
Good news is (I've done these before) takes a novice less than 10 minutes to break down one as far as i did here (avg about 2-3 min each myself)
Bad news. The board is anything from peripheral to telco. Grr sorting is a headache... external numbers mean nothing and you can't tell till WAY inside if it's a $1 unit or $5.
Most boards with two exceptions go Peripheral rate. The boards from the very first prodcution run with the ram simm sockets (and removable ram) and the latched (not easily removable) cpu are small socket.
The Black and the Pink Net Yaroze boards with the 2 socketed CPUs are also small socket.

Metals are so low i just toss the entire laser assembly into cbm but if you take it apart you'll get
Mini ceramic dlp (under a gram)
About two ounces aluminium.
Half ounce magnesium
Some silver crystal (under 2 grams)
A laser diode for gold recovery
And some copper and silver wires.

Mobo pic
Every board is from a first or second production generation unit. All pre revision 2.

Final thought? Don't pay for them. You can hit the jackpot or strike out every one. Just too much risk. Play the lottery for more consistency.

Cellebrite phone cloning system
So normally i post a half dozen photos but it's pointless on this one.
Weighing in at just over a pound the end result is a few 10ths ounce of wire.
6 1/2 ounce giant cell phone board (I'm not sure Chris would take this as cell board or not but it is a full and complete cell phone (com units and all) so I'm hoping)
The rest is just standard shred.

Ac portable dvd player (mains plug)
For most people pop the top pull the controller board on top peripheral or dvd/cd class... yank the flat wire and call it a night.
For more advance recyclers (and those who are heading that route) you can follow the images to see how i turn 25c in low grade board and 10c in heavy breakage into $2 in commodities.
This one was (too) easy. Two philips #p2 screws to open the shell. One #p1 to remove the (peripheral) controller.
The disc housing uses 4 star (not torx) screws. 2 #s6 and 2 #s8. Torx will work in a pinch though.
Keep going and the rest of the screws are #p0 and #p00 size.
This was surprisingly easy.

Some minor changes going forward. I've upgraded my phone (again) and with the new photo sizes I'm not as willing to kill space on the forum so I'll only post pics of the item and the boardsort related recovery and anything worth more than average or very difficult to get out/loose.

Well start with a scanner and some dreamcast stuff.

Portable flatbed scanner.

This may technically be a gold cap board but reasonability dictates telco.
Rest is peripheral
Some flat wire
Nickel insulated wire

A bit of copper, a motor, glass,steel, and plastic.
Not worth buying them.
