What happened here? I just loosened the screws on the side and it „exploded“ 🙈 Can tempered glass get „bad“ with years? (This was an old PC i was about to give away)

    i spy with my little eye… something hard and unforgiving

    More than likely, you loosened it, it tapped the tile and then exploded tile plus tempered glass equals very bad time

    Tempered glass is made to take hits on the face, but that increase in durability makes the edges of it weak. It also makes it impossible to bend or flex.

    So if a piece of tempered glass is struck on its edge, or forced to bend or flex, then the whole thing shatters.

    Tile is pretty strong on its own, stronger than tempered glass.

    So if you were to set your case down incorrectly, in a way where the edge of the glass is the first to make contact, then you’re forcing either the glass to bend, which it can’t, or for the thing it’s coming into contact to give…

    Carpet will give way to a small edge of glass, wood may even give way or bend, but tile, It’s not going anywhere, either it breaks or the glass breaks.

    Nah you hit the tiles. Ceramic is harder than glass. That’s how it always happens.

    Ah, yes… tempered glass on ceramic tile, a tale as old as time

    It’s called DON’T PUT GLASS PANELS ABOVE A TILE FLOOR. They will shatter EVERY SINGLE TIME. Trust me. All they have to do is literally TAP the tile and the panel explodes. The edges are INCREDIBLY frail, so if they tap the ground even slightly it literally explodes. The panel itself is durable. The edges explode from being sneezed on. I know I have repeated this 3 times but people need to understand to stop doing this already. Do not detach a panel over a hard floor. ESPECIALLY tile. It will not end well.

    This should honestly be taught everywhere at this point lol.

    Others have said it but I’ve sacrificed many objects of the glass variety to tile floors. Resistance is futile. The Tile always win.

    Can we start asking A/S/L whenever somebody breaks a side panel, I’d love to see what demographic is statistically more likely to break a sidepanel

    I refuse to believe someone knows about this sub enough to post on it and doesn’t know tempered glass plus tiles is a no no.

    What I don’t understand is that you had a perfectly fine carpet that would fit the entire thing and yet you put half of your PC on the worst surface possible for your glass panel to hit.

    This was self inflicted. Put that bad boy on a tile floor, genius.

    I actually thought mods had started to forbid these posts, because I am not even joking. It’s been like 10 days since I saw a post about this last time!

    The tile floor is the cherry on top.
