The Filthy, Rotten, Nasty, Helpdesk-Nightmare picture clubhouse

[lexluthermiester]

Disgusting, I don't smoke, and any smokers have to go out in the yard if they want to.

I don't allow smoking on my property. Visitors who do have to go out on the sidewalk. They are not allowed to light up anywhere on the property.

I smoked for years, but never indoors and never anywhere remotely close to my PC or other hardware If somebody wants to smoke, fine, do it outside. I rarely smoke these days, maybe four or five times a year when I'm drunk.

And another effort so the thread doesn't get derailed; CAT. PISS. Get that little kitty litter trained ASAP And yup, I got it fixed.

yeah it's nasty
my friend's laptop, i usually clean it up but the last Asus that i worked it just died on my hand, i didn't do something weird, just replacing the keyboard and it just died WTF
since that i'll leave it as it is, just replacing the HDD with ssd and i told her that it has some dust inside and i don't want to open it more

i smoke constantly, its the only vice "lie" i have but do have a dedicated smoking room i like Cuban cigars laced with green stuff on the advice of my doctor . i do have another vice and thats coffee i drink it constantly and hot choc too. i know smoking is bad but it feels so good and when i kick the bucket i want to be ill otherwise it will be so disapointing. .

That's one dusty boy! And yeah, I've had more issues with Asus laptops than I'd like. Especially spare parts are a pain in the arse to get, most of the time it's just eBay and hoping that somebody is offering. Like HP, Lenovo, Dynabook and Acer are just a phone call away from delivering spare parts, why does Asus have to do stuff so awkwardly?!

yep, some of my friends have Asus and guess what all of them has picky wifi connection, this is why i don't recommend that brand especially for low end tier

I bet that's not what they meant when they said go destroy the data on that server

So do you replace all the drives, or just the ones that fell out or tested bad?

 

[Ahhzz]

For me, considering those look like HDDs, not SDDs, those platters could have shattered, and if they didn't, there's still a high chance they're scratched from head impact. I'd be replacing them all...

Even worse when you consider that what actually happened is the rack just tipped and fell. But it honestly looks like it was hit by a truck.
What a waste.

If I'm seeing it right there are 165 drive bays on that server rack. If you put $45 2TB HDDs in them all, you still have to spend ~$7,500 on the HDDs alone. Double that if they're all SSDs(but then if they are, there's a much lower chance that you have to replace all of them).

Much higher than that is the cost of the data itself. If there are no backups of this on any other locations/racks, some of the data(potentially worth millions) is now lost.

I'd melt the lot down and sell it for scrap

I'd test every component for viability and recycle what is damaged or doesn't work. The rack was obviously not in operation went it was knocked over and most parts have a g-shock load rating. A non-operation fall like that would not have exceeded such a rating. As bad as that picture looks, most of the drives/parts in that rack likely work fine.

And will end up on eBay as low hour, used drives.

Well, what are you waiting for? Place a bid before they're all gone!!!

I forgot to take a picture before i cleaned my case after 6 Months (im smoking) it looks nearly the same .
But they work very well, they keep the most of the dust outside of ther case..
