I'm looking for bunch of scrap circuit boards, all in the same colour board colour.  Ideally blue but I may have to settle for standard green.

 

They will be mounted to ply, then encased in resin to form the top of a piece of furniture, with some LED Lighting embedded as well.   It's going to be super tacky, but .... its going in the workshop so I can be as tacky as I want!

 

Does anyone know where I would source?  I need to sort through and pick out those that suit (colour and max component height).

 

I noticed lots of e-waste at my local transfer station (Blenheim).  But it's whole devices palletised. I'm not sure if they would like me pulling stuff apart and removing CBs.

You could try and give https://abilities.co.nz/ a call and see if they can ship some to you?

I guess all the low profile stuff will come from small devices like hdd boards,

 

maybe monitors?

Cool - mebbe design some boards with flashing lights (or whatever you want) and get them made in the colour, shape and size you want.

 

 





Most of the posters in this thread are just like chimpanzees on MDMA, full of feelings of bonhomie, joy, and optimism. Fred99 8/4/21

Designing is not within my capability, sadly.  Also, this will be 2400mm x 1200mm, so probably too expensive to get something made.  The lighting will be from LED strips which I already have.
