I see a lot of pictures of people’s uConsoles on here but it strikes me as odd that everyone’s consoles are pristine because my console started to show signs of wear after a single day of (admittedly extremely rough) use. This is my primary computer and at various times, except for my phone, it has been my only computing device. I use it for research, reading, gaming, and programming, and I love the thing to death. This is the first time I’ve owned a computer for longer than six months without needing to replace a single part; my Thinkpads were tough but I did have to bring spares of a couple pieces I knew were fragile when traveling and I’d have an unsalvageable unit sometimes within a year. I’d like to see if anyone else has a uConsole that has seen some tough love. Attached is a photo of my uConsole from each angle (a large stitched .png image) so those that are interested can see what the wear on my unit looks like, and perhaps make a papercraft uConsole of their own if they have gone stark raving mad 🙃. It’s taken hit after hit, including being frozen and nearly set on fire, and just keeps on going. Even the dinky little Samsung SD card I put in here is chugging along happily. My console has the all-in-one SDR mod from Hacker Gadgets, though I taped over the “Designed by hackergadgets” blurb on the quick mount because it’s hard enough to convince people this is a normal computer when it has five antenna connections and four visible USB ports. ![uconsole_wear](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/5/57d238e7b2d4f5394fc9856a3ae55311421b44b2.jpeg) --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/well-worn-consoles/19013)._
