Was just casually playing fallout 4 and I guess my case panel decided to nuke itself, pc was not overheating at all (and definitely won’t now)

    Just a guess but probably at some point someone hit it with their foot or a vacuum or something and caused a hairline fracture. Over time it eventually ruptured the glass obviously.

    the little dude standing on your GPU did it, still has the weapon in his hand

    Stay low and zig-zag, the assassin missed his first shot

    anyone singing opera in your house/ nearby?

    An advocate for the return of the solid side panel has visited you, heed their warning.

    Good luck getting it all up, smashed glass SUCKS, you end up finding bits years later no matter what you do.

    Small defects in the glass can make it spontaneously break i remember my mothers deck table sounding like a rock hit it

    Or it was over tightened or unevenly tightened

    i dont get why people get those cases with tempered glass. It’s bound to explode when going through cold/warmth differences

    Things could be worse… at least you didnt pee your pants.

    That’s the price we pay for eliminating acrylic for tempered glass.

    Dust on top made case budge and glass panel explode.

    Mystery solved.

    Something as hard as ceramic must’ve struck it. Could even be a small tiny shard if thrown hard enough

    Time to reset the counter to Zero again 😂

    Look OP you want the truth or some BS jokes from others because I know exactly what went wrong here.

    All glass types have certain frequency thresholds that when sustained disrupt the glass on a molecular level and shatter it. Kinda like the bit the the opera singer shattering glasses.

    Now listen closely OP, what’s happened here is your arch-rival has honed their opera singing craft to levels some may deem…superhuman. They infiltrated your abode then used their opera singing to remotely shatter this glass.

    You need to find them OP, before more damage is done.

    Coil whine reached the same frequency as the glass, causing it to vibrate and eventually shatter

    The heavenly lords of PCMR don’t like it when you put minifigs inside your pc.

    Just because you don’t have a tile floor doesn’t mean you can bang your side panel around lmao. It’s not stainless steel, it’s tempered GLASS.

    If it exploded by itself it had a micro fracture in it already, and vibration plus maybe a case handling a bit too rough or a bump with an object that at first seemed to make no damage, expanded that crack and with time it made the glass panel shatter.

    That’s what you get for placing a figure on your GPU. I’m telling you, it’s a curse, but people never want to believe me. Well, there you have it—proof that it brings bad luck to those who do it.

    It was the PC gods punishing you for not dusting off your computer.

    I know this is gonna sound like me describing a D&D monster, but a lot of people don’t understand is that tempered glass is fairly resilient to blunt force and shock. What it doesn’t do well against is piercing, a lot of pressure focused on a very small area is usually what causes them to shatter. Tempered glass are made in a way they have some amount of pressure internally that holds it together, it is why they are good against shock. But if something chips or scratches giving the pressure a way to escape it all just crumbles

    There is only one who can cause side panels to vibrate at their natural resonate frequency and shatter.

    I put 4mil clear security film on mine when I built my new computer last year. That way when/if it breaks it’s still whole.

    Tip#1 add window tint to glass. Less mess when it breaks 😅

  24. MikeFic_YT

    It tried to kill itself due to all the dust.

    Do you have tile nearby in the kitchen or bathroom? A tiny particle got caught up in dust and slowly made its way over to your PC.
