Did it hit the floor when you put it down?, ceramic tiles can cause tempered glass to shatter with only a small bump.
My sincere condolences.
Reset the counter
When the abuser pose himself as the victim.-
I’d use a different word than victim
what a nice looking tile floor you got there…
Ya stupid
A victim of your own stupidity
r/brokensidepanels
You’re a potato.
Ceramic Floor and Tempered Glass; smh my head.
Tiles-2484 PCs-0 Tiles win again
Victim is not the word I would use.
That’s a weird way to spell moron
ah what do you know, the same exact tile floor that is always featured in these pictures
You misspelt moron
We’re on a roll this week lmao
You victimized yourself.
“You’ve done this to yourself”
Id say the glass was the real victim here
Why post the stupidity online? Why?
the more i see these posts the more lucky i feel to have never done this
billions will suffer the ceramic tile fate
Aaaand that’s why I went with full metal side. Can’t be arsed to clean that stuff up.
I still don’t understand how this is even possible
I’ve had like two PCs with tempered glass side panels on tile floors and nothing has ever happened
All right folks, resetting the counter again.

>**Why did my tempered glass side panel break?**

>Probably the most common culprit when it comes to a broken tempered glass side panel is coming into contact with a tiled floor or ceramic counter top. If you ever see a post on reddit about a broken side panel, you can often see a ceramic surface lurking suspiciously in the background.

>This is because ceramic materials are really hard, like way harder than glass, which can be surprising given how brittle they are. In short, tiles and countertops feel pretty smooth, but are have very small, very sharp points. This means that when these small sharp points encounter tempered glass, they can concentrate a lot of pressure into a small area, resulting in the glass shattering.
If only they made cases with metal side panels…maybe it’s time I invent transparent aluminum.
Or… Are you the perpetrator?
what is a glass panel explosion?
Of what, idiocy? Stop putting tempered glass on ceramic tile!!
Poor evga gpu
Tile ✔️
Turn it off then on again
Looks like an perfect excuse for a getting a brand new system, sorry for you loss brother, Im sure that one will run fine as a backup
Unstoppable force meets immovable object once again. R.I.P
Jesus wept.
