When manufacturing mainboards for your Pentium class computers, did you decide that signals would be conducted better if the solder points on the back of the board were razor sharp? If so, FOAD. If they're like that by accident, FOAD. In short, FOATPADIAF.

Seriously. That sh!t is SHARP.

I've already written a few 300-pagers (and that's 8.5x11, so that's fscking massive.) Seriously, don't knock it, it's relaxing.

Dear User
Why the $@# are you trying to take Motherboards out of our machines? they are proprietary so its not like they are going to fit in any other case, and by doing so you are voiding the warranty anyways so WTF? get a clue, if your going to be stupid enough to try and take one out you deserve to get scraped :D

-Sincerely Dell :p

I kill time by volunteering to dismantle old computers to their simplest components for recycling purposes. My main responsibility is ripping sh!t out of the cases and throwing it into bins. This involves handling the motherboard.

I built Dell computers as a job while at college. Everybody that worked there would get cut up once in a while. You would have to do safety precausions and stuff, but it was inevitable with the razor sharp edges. Quite annoying.

I don't have this problem with Gateways. I don't have this problem with Compaqs (though their incessant use of T-15 screws is a problem in it's own right). I don't have this problem with NECs. I don't have this problem with HPs (they use the damn T-15's, too). I don't have this problem with IBMs (though they use BOLTS in the AS/400's and FLATHEADS in everything else) - just Dell. Dell and their damned razor-sharp edges.

Which line did you work on, by the way, and what years? Poweredge, Optiplex, Dimension, what was your platform of choice (so I can be sure to beat one to a bloody pulp for 'ya)

You'd think a lifer would have more than enough free time to file off all those little pointy things.
:p

Oh yeah, truly worhwhile for the 10-15 seconds I'm holding the damn thing between the time it leaves the chassis and the time I pitch it across the room into a 35gallon rubbermaid :p

Did they make them in the mid 90's? Because they've gotten better since about '99.

It's their product safety deterrent!

Dell hopes that if you try to disassemble one of their machines that you cut yourself and bleed to death. You'll never do it again!

Alternately, Dell also hopes you suffocate yourself after purchasing your new PC: :camera:

Alas, I have destroyed dozens of their systems in the past week.

Everyone knows that you get 10 bonus horsepower for using razor sharp solder points. I bought some to stack on all the solder points on my motherboard, I think I've got an extra 50hp now.
