I had a case that had been in a housefire. It was all metal so it was fine. But I couldn’t get the smell out and it got bad when the computer got hot.

I mean.. they are designed to withstand high temperatures.

They replaced it? Did the PC start the housefire? That’s a good warranty/customer service.

I just dumped a full glass of water into my keyboard and case by accident. Emptied as best I could and put a high speed fan on it for two days. Fired eight up. The good news is is was my previous build that I use only to for emergencies and old files.

I had a hard drive that survived a house fire. The drive was *black.* I cleaned all the PCB and contacts, and it worked fine for another 7 years.

It looks as though the case survived the fire. I could be wrong, but those internals kinda look like theyre in too good a shape and must be newer than the case. Surely the cables wouldve melted abit or something. edit: zooming in, probably an incorrect assumption on my part.
