Hello All, Just started scrapping and having trouble categorizing two boards. Any help is appreciated.

The first came from a floppy disk drive, I'd assume mid grade because of the dual color but the beefy gold pins made me want to be sure.

The second is a server power supply module. It's a completely green PCB but has pretty full golf finger board and a well populated board on the side. Better to leave whole as a higher tier category (which?) or cut off the gold fingers and peripheral board?

Thanks in advance.

Low peripheral on the floppy drive as long as the pins remain.

Best you can get due to the heavier, lower value components will be midgrade on the power supply. Not sure where those Gold fingers fall if you remove them (Gold Fingers are typically from PCI or similar cards) But if you have an easy means of cutting those or the less populated board on the side, this may be an instance where it helps to remove them.
