"Um...I hope you have a backup..."


          

Or "Would you like fries with that?"

Quiz time. The pictures below are of:

A) An Athlon system that didn't use thermal grease?
B) What happens when you fill a 40 GB HD with pr0n
C) A computer that a customer sent us to try to recover data from

If you said C, then you are sadly correct.

One of the cool things is that I had never see disk platters so burnt that they flaked apart

That and there's this unidentifiable lump of plastic that was sitting in the bottom of the case...not quite sure what it was but we've had fun speculating.

I can see the outside of the case being the result of a Quake3 addicts idea of a Fragged Case Mod. Mmmm.....Gibby.

Heck, that should be easy. Just plug in a new cable and you should be all set to go.

I am suprised they would bring it to you. Just looking at it I wouldnt even bother. Must have some important information on it.
