So my dad dropped the O2...

While moving, my dad accidentally dropped my O2 (the one I got from yetanother**ixuser some time ago with the power-on issues).
I kind of freaked out when I saw the mess, shattered plastic everywhere and thought that, since O2s are generally quite vulnerable to impacts, the machine now was gone for good.
Put everything together again as good as possible, the machine looks like this now:

Not expecting anything I powered the machine on - red light. "Well maybe it's just the normal power-on issues, let's try again some more times", I thought (by the third time it always seems to work).
And indeed, when I plugged it in the third time the amber led comes on, the noisy drive spins up, the 1600SW turns on and "Welcome to O2". :D
Did some more tests and the O2 just works like before the drop. Either I've got an unusually stable machine or I just was lucky this time :)

That is harshly painful to look at, poor little blue guy... :cry:

Yeah, the plastic liek to explode when subjected to a 3+ inch drop.

retributive justice ... this b**ch bugged me a lot :twisted:
no plan
Don't let your fathers help.. mine took an unfortunate grip and cracked the case on my near mint Origin 200 when I moved. I put it on the shelf of endless TODOs :(

That is one tough machine. I have seen one of these shattered into tiny bits ( I may still have photos), and dropped one myself.
I have extra plastics I will send you for the cost of shipping if you want them.
If the thing isn't on fire it's a software problem.

Wow, that would be great! Could you please tell me what shipping to Austria would cost?

Yep, the O2 tool it fairly well, the case seems to have absorbed almost all of the damage. There's a dent near the broken loudspeaker cover in the metal but nothing else! :)

Funny enough, the plastics of the O2 are kinda delicate, but the internal structure of the computer turns out to be very robust :) . If you replace those plastics, it will probably work perfectly fine for ever and ever :D . If you need it, I have the top cover of the computer, it is not perfect, because the plastic tab was broken and I had to glue it with epoxi resin. However, if you just put it on top, nobody will notice.
