Another old computer I have to look after, Motherboard capacitors are gone, Power supply is also gone, and will be scrapped by the owner after I recover the data. This 'innovative' hinge design was the bane of me fixing these in the past in high school. Also worth vacuuming so that poor soul who's dismantling it doesn't have to deal with anything.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this picture was taken with a HTC One M7

Good. Just received my warranty replacement about two weeks ago. Man it made a HUGE difference. I had forgotten what clear pictures looked like. Other than that ZOE issues turning the pictures purple it's a quite solid device. The update is very clean too.

I've been getting some bugs on the new update, been procrastinating on resetting it.

Honestly wait til they ship you the replacement model. I think the ZOE issue isn't the only problem with the earlier phones. My old one apparently didn't completely update and was also glitching. My refurbished unit was made at least a year after my I got my phone and it works so much more smoothly. On my old phone for some reason music player would randomly freeze at time and there was nothing I could do to get it started back up again. Not even resetting it worked.

That was one of the worst case designs I have ever worked with, and I've worked with a lot of computers. They were difficult to open and never closed right. Unfortunately, this case style was available for a time on the Optiplex and Precision as well as the Dimension.

Dell has been quite a weird one when it came to their desktops, they seem to hate having a fan directly on the cpu, and used lots of ducting instead with a single fan.

Is that a 650? I have a couple of those around the office I'm about to scrap if you need a power supply or something.

I also have an ATA/SATA -> USB adapter, best recovery tool I've ever bought. You can connect it to any bare drive and attach to a USB port - awesome!

THROWBACK THURSDAY!! These are the MOST horrible desktops in existence.

Just for shiggles I want to build a ludicrously powerful gamin/production rig into one of these cases.
