No, I always think it will happen to me, probably why it hasn’t yet

On the plus side the glass fragments have created an interesting fractal pattern on the floor. Maybe you could encase them in resin and title the artwork ‘Didn’t Learn (From Other People’s Mistakes)’.
Definitely won’t happen to me, I don’t use a tempered glass panel.

I know it’ll never happen to me, cause I have a case with solid walls.

I’m absolutely sure it would happen to me. That’s why i have no windowed case.

Is this a Corsair 4000D by any chance?

That has to be a Corsair Airflow case…bro, do what I did….contact Corsair customer service and tell them what happened.. if it’s the first time it’s happened.. Corsair will send you a free replacement glass panel..
I actually messaged them because the panel was out of stock..I said
“Hi..I’m looking for a replacement panel for my Corsair case and it says you’re out of stock..i accidently shattered it on my tile and need a new one…do you know when it will be available?”
They actually apologized for some reason and said they’ll send me a courtesy replacement…so cool

Corsair needs to sell custom acrylic side panels. I’d literally buy one for my case in a heartbeat- I have my side panel facing the wall because of my cat and her need to lean on things.

Update: To add some context, this didn’t break from falling on the ground; it broke while removing. I don’t know if a clip got stuck or what. It shattered in my hands though. I’ve always worried about it with this particular case since the panel was glass edge to edge, which is why I was disassembling in the garage.

Oh wow, that’s my exact case

Since it has come to this situation, I recommend every fans as an exhaust.

I wonder if I already had my one instance of this happening when I was working in an arcade. Cleaning a Laser War pinball machine and the back panel glass slipped out of my hands and hit the cabinet rails. Shattered into a million pieces of course. I was cleaning that machine for weeks or months until I stopped finding pieces of glass. I hope it remains my one instance since it taught me to be extra extra careful about such things.

Happened to me two years ago. Same case btw, I am running it without a side panel since then. No issues
