How do you salvage the precious metals out of old computer monitors?

Question

I have heard about people getting silver and gold out of old computer monitors. Does anyone know how to do it?

Answer 1

You, personally, don't. It takes a lot of serious equipment and very dangerous chemicals to do it.

Answer 2

The amount of precious metals there isn't enough to worry about unless you're doing this on a large scale. There might be a few cents worth of each on a computer.
