Finished fixing up the smashed 810 drive I got on eBay last week and it's looking pretty damn good, all things considered. Check out the replies for before and after pics...

And the after! I was able to reconstruct the smashed corner as best as I could with super glue, and also repaired the hairline crack to prevent the rear top half from coming apart. The case also got a good cleaning beforehand, and then after the repairs were done, I slathered the case with cream peroxide developer and placed it in my UV box for whitening. Less than a day later, the case came out an acceptable shade and I reassembled the drive.
Oh and the best part? Despite all the damage and everything this drive has been through, it still worked perfectly fine! I was able to play several games for a few hours with the drive powered on the entire time and it worked like a champ.
