You may not have ever wondered or cared, but I'm about to show you...

Last weekend we had some "power issues" that ended up killing one of our network switches at the office. Being a good IT guy, everything's under warranty and a new one arrived next-day.

Today was a slower day at work, so I decided to tear this thing down and show you what's inside. Okay, okay, you got me. I was actually pull this apart for scrap and to get any good bits out of and figured I'd make a Steemit post, too.


Let's get going!

Here's the series of photos pulling it apart bit by bit.

Good Bits

Right off hand, I got three good 12 volt fans and a lot of aluminum heat sinks. Other than that... heck if I know! Maybe Pinterest will inspire me...
