This happened to me when I was working on my cousin’s PC a while back. I took off screws and when I grabbed the side panel to remove it it spontaneously exploded. I grabbed it with one hand in the upper left corner and I guess that put the perfect amount of stress on it to make it go boom.
We used 3 different vacuums, a shop vac, an upright vac and a Dyson stick vac to try to get all the pieces but I was still finding pieces months later here and there. Thankfully no one was hurt and the PC was fine
I new to pc, so forgive me if this is a stupid question….but, how does this happen other than mishandling the glass?

Of course its Corsair 4000d airflow, those are made to explode, plexiglass cutout and some windshield glue to fix it, just scrape those holders from the broken shards.

You seem to have a pc and some glass shards on your omelette

is that granite or marble floor? same vibe as tiles
shouldn’t he be using two cables for the GPU instead of daisy chain from a single cable ?
Tiles, the side panel breaker
Feared amongst all PCs cases
pig tailing a 6900xt is wild tho
Is your floor/table made of scrambled eggs?
If you ignore the fact that his door broke, you’re looking at a big meal of nachos, with extra cheese!

I think for my next pc case I’ll opt for some sort of mesh side panel
Darn… that’s a bummer. On the flip side, it looks like you’re cooking a mean lasagna.
It never gets off zero

Nothing is certain except death, taxes and someone breaking their glass panel because of a harder surface.
Why did you put your pc on a giant pizza?
Are there any landscape pc cabinets?
Landscape motherboard can solve all problems!
What do you think?
I had my Rx 6950 XT supported and it still sagged. I bought a different bag support, so hopefully it doesn’t get worse.
It was 0 to begin with.
