For regular scrapping, would server fans (or other computer fans) go as a motor or is there too much plastic?

the whole fan or just the motor ? its not to hard to pull the motor out of them if you take your time. IDK about the whole hub with the plastic tho.

There was an episode I had seen as a kid on syndication that I know is 100% real and know was twilight zone about some old lady talking to someone on a phone but I’ve never found it again in any package or on streaming.


Ended with the shot of the phone cable stuck on a grave.

One of those lost episode things I guess.
I know it’s not false memory because I watched it with my mother and grandmother at my grandmothers house and they both remembered it
