I’ve had a couple of things happen to me lately that I was literally like “It happened to me!”. Pulled a cooler off with the CPU. Thankfully undamaged but was really mad at myself for that one, I should have known better. Just thought since the thermal paste had only been on there a few days I could do so without letting it warm up first.
USB 3.0 plastic header came off of a mobo the other day. Again luckily nothing damaged, pushed it back on but was like “really?”. I don’t have a case with tempered glass so safe from that for now.

This time it was a bit harder to find the tile 😀

Funny thing- expensive record players have padded and rubber feet that pivot/shift to absorb resonating energy. Why don’t these PCs?

You somehow managed to put it on the one granite surface in the room, that’s impressive

My desk collapsed, and my pc landed on the glass and never broke. I’ve thrown a vr ontroller at it on accident, I dont know how people manage to break these. I’ve literally full force punched my glass panel while in vr.

I think it looks better this way

Set it down gently and cover it with epoxy resin for a unique side panel. 🤣

My pet theory is that they’re all just not rated to withstand the heat output of our graphics cards

I did the same with exactly the same PC case 🤣. Corsair was kind enough to send me a free replacement though!

This is funny because I was talking to someone about theirs when they were building their pc and said I went no glass. They said it was boring. Theirs broke yesterday.

It never happens to you, until it happens to you.
Maybe we should just stick to using granite countertops only in the kitchen.
Looks cool. Cover it with epoxy and leave it like that.

Damn how does this happen to you, it’s an aerocool in its crappy case, and I dropped its glass several times from a table 60 cm high, and nothing.
How do I make sure it doesn’t happen to me?
Did you leave the peel on? Because that’s just weird l
Imagine having a perfectly fine wooden floor, to put it on a stone table…
The glass goes on a cushion when not attached, this forbidden technique has preserved my panel for years…
I have a case with a curved glass panel and I’m terrified of shattering it
I never thought it would be you either. But here you are.
It will never be me as I refused to buy a TG side panel long before people started posting these mishaps.

If your really good with boxing tape, your can wrap that up and just have a textured glass wall on your desktop

Don’t buy a PC case with a glass panel, problem solved

Never thought it would be you…

And there’s the granite/quartz right there lol. Never fails.
Yet there you are with marble bench ( just a large a tile in effect ).

It almost feels like a meme at this point where people are introducing tempered glass to hard materials on purpose
PSA: when handling your tempered glass be sure to cite the ancient text:
You should have thought it would happen to you, considering you own both a tempered glass panel and a hard countertop
