Just never set the case down on the panel and never set the panel down on a hard, unyielding surface. If you do that, you start the timer until this happens.

this is getting depressing, how can so many people be so clumsy in the same ways and NOBODY learn from eachother

What is going on? It’s like multiple times a day these posts get made…

Because of you guys we’re going back to the plain old opaque panels. I hope you’re happy.

are these all bad cases or is this just bad management?

Yep, people are just destroying their cases for reddit points these days. What an Era to be alive and witness!

How does this keep happening lol

Ok I don’t have a glass case so I have no frame of reference for what is happening here. How does setting your computer on tile make a glass side break?
cheddar_risotto
Why are side panels made this way anyway? Just make them not break or smth
TheLooseFisherman
I don’t get glass panels.. they’re expensive, serve no purpose, break.. what more? Why not use quality acrylic? Which can be modified even..

I was at BestBuy today and saw some cases with glass, and thought, “Shoot, that really does look nice”. Then I tried to move a case to get a closer look and fear gripped my heart and I then realized, with absolute certainty, that I will never have a glass case.
I’ll just paint my own case/use acrylic/just keep using the same case I’ve been using this past decade for another decade or two, at the very least.

I have the 4000D which looks similar to yours and I ended up in the same situation a few months ago. Corsair website had replacement panels for the 4000D for a fairly reasonable price so you can probably find the one for yours too. I opted for a metal replacement panel this time around since the most noticeable RGB on mine is in the front anyway. Or if you want to stick with the tempered glass contact support and see if they’ll send you a replacement for free.

Oh Jesus you freaked me out. That looks like my newly put together one and I thought my wife was posting this while I was at work.

Hey what case is this because it looks awfully similar to the one I just used in my build

Tempered glass plus granite / marble / whatever stone floor… what did you expect would happen?

And another one on tile floor…

This is exactly why I bought a cheap case with a cheap ass acrylic window.

I’m confused, but, why aren’t these side panels made from plastic? They probably wouldn’t brake nearly as much as these ones. Is it because they would feel cheap or something like that?

Bro I have had 4 glass panel cases over the years and have been reckless asf with all of them and never once have I broken a panel. How are y’all doing this shit every day😭 do you forget glass is destructible 😭😭

Tile. Don’t do it!

How common are tile floors??
Millkstake
Maybe they need to start laminating side panels at this point

Dead set… I’ll never understand glass or perspex panels. I look at my screen when gaming and when not, I focus on other tasks. Y’all have time to stare at your box of electronics and light?

I swear to god the timer is in the negatives now
TheCreepyPL
At this point we should literally start counting minutes instead of days since the last broken panel…

when busting glass panel is more popular than busting a nut
stay safe, use protection
FranticToaster
How do you guys keep doing this?
Also tin hat theory: 99% of case makers are selling only glass-panel cases because this happens and replacement glass panels is their real business.

Sometimes it’s not even a tile floor.
I thought I know enough until I serviced my friend’s PC with very cheap b-brand case that had 3 front RGB fans and ZERO front air intake. The front panel just had no holes in it at all, just an acrylic panel. Side panel was made of tempered glass.
Of course, the “low fps on 3070” issue was overheating and throttling. I’ve shut down the PC, tried to open the side panel… and it broke into pieces right when I opened it. It was 17 C° outside the case and couple times more inside of it.
Be careful and let the PC to cool down first. Temperature shock is no joke to glass.

Rookie mistake.
TG side panel and tile, name a more destructive duo
Do we need to change this to hours?
