Step 4: Know what you looking for
So you should have a list with you that reminds you what you need for the project. For this project I am looking for 470 to 2200 uF Capacitors, 6 to 12 volt motors, and any extra components (i.e. the gravy) that come on these boards for my junk component box.
I know that many older PCs often have capacitors on the motherboard, as most do most PCB's (printed circuit boards). Then it is simply locating the code for the 'size' of capacitors on the side of the component. ( if you need to learn more about components and how to identify them see my links in Step 1!).
Additionally I know that floppy and CDR drives usually contain small motors at the right voltage range; yeah I looked inside one that's how I know.
