Repair would be a matter of replacing the case, although a car body shop might be able to fix it ... The crucial issue is determining if UPS dropped it or dropped something heavy ON it. (We once got a monitor box with a very clear boot print on it. Fortunately the packing protected the monitor, but it was obvious that the thing had been used as a stepladder) If it was dropped hard enough to cause that much damage, I wouldn't trust the thing at all, that's an enormous amount of shock. On the other hand, if something heavy was dropped on it, the case protected the computer. In any case I'd take it up with UPS immediately! -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
