Functionally it's 100%. The headphone jack has no issues, home button works properly, touch screen is perfect, power and both volume buttons are easy to press, and the speaker sounds fine. The glass, digitizer, and plastic subframe are brand new, I reused the old home button and hardware. I assume all the new parts are Chinese knockoffs, but they matched up well enough and I don't see any flaws with them. It's never given me any strange errors when updating, I made sure to update and jailbreak it before I ordered the new parts. I'll drop you a PM with paypal info, if you want it, and I can have it shipped out Monday afternoon.

The last time we did this series I was a reader who was also at that time transitioning into my new role as a Lifehacker writer. So, as you can imagine, I loved that inside peek into my fellow writers' setups and have taken more than a tip or two from them. I'll offer some contrariness too, though, in this "getting to know you" post. Here's what I use:

I'll admit, I have a lot of computers, and technology is my spending Achilles' heel. Unlike the other Lifehacker writers, I don't name my computers. Maybe I should and it would make me feel closer to these devices. Or maybe it would make me feel sadder when I inevitably put the machines out to pasture.
