Keep in mind that, depending on the trasher and that particular bin, those
components may have been dropped 6 feet (although it would be poor design
that required a user to lift $HEAVY_THING overhead). I'd worry most about
the plastic cases on the monitors, and the glass bed of the scanners. But
hey, if it's unbroken, no harm no foul.
