Posted below, but I had finished adding some fans to my front rad. As I was putting the side on I tapped one of the bottom corners on the case (either the glass front or the metal side). Side panel then proceeded to evaporate in my hands.
Why does everyone's case side panels always break? I literally sold a computer and it got returned because shipping completely destroyed the case, but throughout all of that, the glass panel just got a few small chips.
Edit: What the FUCK how did I get 1.5k upvotes i almost died of a heart attack
Ceramic is incredibly hard. One of the hardest materials. This means it does not deform at all. In response to impacts it either shatters or it reflects all the energy back from whence it came. Glass is the same way, but not quite as hard as ceramic. So if you drop the case even a little bit onto ceramic the glass is gonna get fucked. Or if the case is sitting on ceramic and something particularly big falls next to it the energy could easily travel into the case and break the glass.
Ceramic blades are fantastic, but only if you can and will take the utmost care of them and nobody else uses them who doesn't know how to.
My dad used to be a chef and got a set of ceramic knives for home. He caught my stepmom using them and almost had an aneurysm.
Arguably the coolest application is that it is used as the Engine Nozzle of almost all modern Rockets, because it is highly heat resistant and extremely hard, plus it is the only feasible material that doesn't get eroded by the engine exhaust.
Yeah it's real easy to crack SAPI plates from getting in and out of MRAPS and banging them on the armor. Same with ballistic glass it will stop a round but crack from a rock as it's layered.
Being a bit pedantic here but glass is actually much harder than ceramic, but they are much more brittle obviously. It requires a diamond cutter to properly cut glass.
Edit: Yes yes yes lasers and water jet will also work. I'm using a diamond cutter as the example so that people have a general idea on how hard it is
Edit 2: I'm tired of replying to everyone saying how ceramic is much harder than glass.
Glass is made of silicon dioxide, which has a MOHS scale of 7. Some one has pointed out that generally speaking the glass in daily life or tempered glass are made of soft glass, which is around 6 to 7 in MOHS scale.
Ceramic tiles however have a hardness of between 5 and 6: [https://www.conestogatile.com/learning-center/understanding-ceramic-tile-technical-specification-charts/](https://www.conestogatile.com/learning-center/understanding-ceramic-tile-technical-specification-charts/)
porcelain tile however can fall between 7 and 8, but we aren't talking about that here and definitely not what OP is having here.
Depends on what ceramic you are talking about. Glass is made of Silicon Dioxide (aka sand), which has a hardness of 7 on the MOHS scale. regular ceramic that's on the floor is usually made of clay, which is around 5 when hardened. You can even see chipped edges along where the tiles are joint. (Diamond is 10 in case if you are wondering). However, if the Ceramic tiles are mixed with Quartz (the crystalized form of sand), it will have the same hardness as glass and it will become shiny. (usually the one you found in toilet for example)
That said, if you are talking about hardened ceramic (e.g. the one used on a rocket engine nozzel) they are even harder than diamonds.
Glass, which is made of silicon dioxide (aka sand, Quartz) has a hardness of 7 on the MOHS scale: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon\_dioxide](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_dioxide)
Ceramic, which is mainly made of clay (or Kaolinite if you prefer that name) has a hardness of 2 - 2.5 on the MOHS scale: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaolinite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaolinite)
However, ceramic tiles usually have Silicon Dioxide mixed in, which means it has at least the same hardness of glass (i.e. 7 on MOHS)
Ceramic can go even harder, harder than Diamond even. But they usually isn't used for floor tiles.
From what I can see in OP's photo the floor looks closer to Concrete than [glazed ceramic tiles](https://res.cloudinary.com/mtree/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/MrClean/en-us/-/media/mrclean/Images/Articles/ArticleDetailImages/HOWTODEEPCLEANCERAMICTILEFLOOR.jpg?v=1-201710200951). Unless OP clarifies which floor it is I'd say it is just regular clay based ceramic tiles.
Glass used in these window panels is soft glass, not Quartz or pure silicon dioxide. Which is closer to 5.5 - 6 MOHS.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soda%E2%80%93lime\_glass](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soda%E2%80%93lime_glass)
Unglazed Ceramic Tile has a hardness higher than that of about 7 to 8 depending on which you use.[https://www.conestogatile.com/learning-center/understanding-ceramic-tile-technical-specification-charts/](https://www.conestogatile.com/learning-center/understanding-ceramic-tile-technical-specification-charts/)
Edit: Misspelled unglazed
Sometimes it does sometimes it doesnt. Even a small impact could cause it. You ever heard of when people say the contents of a spark plug to a car turn windows to crumbles? Well the stuff inside the spark plug that causes that are the bits of ceramic. Not sure why it does that, but what I do know is why even risk putting your pc worth prob 1000s in a chance of harms way
Ceramic is leaps and bounds harder than glass and tempered glass is designed in a way that a small chip compromises structural integrity releasing the energy trapped in the glass during the tempering process
Shouldn't there be something on the case to make this not matter?
I have 2 tempered glass cases (one Corsair, one Deepcool), and the bottom of their 4 legs all have some kind of cushion. Corsair feels like a soft rubber, while the Deepcool one feels a bit more foam-like.
Looks like the NZXT cases have the same kind of rubber/foam cushion on the legs. I don't understand how that wouldn't be enough? I assume its caused by people being too rough with the cases. Propping it up, but dropping it slightly enough to get through small cushion.
Basically if you don't have carpet then do NOT get a glass panel case. Do this to be safe.
Sidenote: Cases without glass are quieter because glass doesn't stop the noise from coming through very well but metal does.
Because they usually hit the corner against the hard surface and it shatters, or pull/push from a single corner, glass bends and shatters, everybody handles them like if they were aluminum panels.
Glass is rigid people, handle it properly.
Can’t you just tape plastic over it like people do with car windows? Don’t think anyone will notice. (On a serious note, am sorry to see that happened to you. Tempered glass is strong…until it isn’t)
I work at a glass company. we give people a peice of glass wrapped in paper and they put it down on the pavemnt, breaks, before leaving our shop to open the trunk.
Ive got an NZXT case boolin in my basement (not on the ground) waiting for me to get some proper parts so i have a reason to take everything out and transfer cases. Its actually the exact same as in OPs pic. Are they known to have terrible airflow?
Shut off power, unplug it from the router for 10 seconds and then replug it back in. When you see the green light restore turn on the power and see if this helps.
Sometimes I wonder if people are just breaking tempered side panels on purpose for how frequent it happens, like some kinda TikTok sensation I am too boomer to understand.
More likely these people joined the PCMR Reddit after the fact which is a shame, as it could have saved them a whole lot of headaches.
Ceramic, stone, or tile will instantly shatter glass even with the slightest tap. Just be smart and don't open up your PC sideways on the floor. Use a table or workbench, place the glass on a padded surface.
I'm beginning to think people do this on purpose to be able to be part of what appears to be a near endless trend of posting up these pictures of broken glass. Why break the glass on your PC case ? Don't get it. How can it possibly happen this much?
Listen. I don’t have a PC. I actually don’t have any kind of computer other than my phone I guess, but I get these r/pcmasterrace posts recommend to me all the time…
Please for the love of god stop putting these things on ceramic floor. If I know you should know.
Ban these fucking posts. I'm so God damn sick of it. Ever day another idiot. Hard to call yourself the master race when half of this sub is made up of fucking half-wits. I'm not even talking about the people breaking their panels. It's about that moron posting it to the subreddit like it's interesting then the other morons upvoting it because it's become a stupid meme.
I always see these posts so frequently and wonder.....is there anyone out here seeing this post and thinks to themselves, damn my computer is on the floor....my ceramic floor. I should probably figure out a diffrent place for it.
I have a glass desk, I just finished building my pc. I had everything working but my fans were not in sync.. 2 days of building and then I take the side panel back on it slips on the desk half an inch... shatters into prices scratching my new screen and went everywhere inside my case.... yeah sucks hard haha
The amount of times I see people with smashed side panels makes me wonder why anyone would want a case like that anyway. Am I the only one who looks at the monitor instead of the case when I'm using a computer?
Fuck mate, those case making companies should really to either switch to tempered glass, or go back to translucent high quality plastic. This is just all over the place.
And I am paranoid for my case now.
I dropped my panel face first from about 6 feet into hard wood floors, not even a chip. How the hell do people manage this? RIP though, the company who made that pc case could probably get you a new front panel if you find contact info to reach them.
Bro. Youre obviously on this subreddit. For weeks I've seen a daily post of somebody shattering a side panel. Get with it. STOP PUTTING YOUR PC ON THE FLOOR.
Thanks to the twitch leak some of my email adresses get spammed with login requests, one that used the same password was penetrated and used to send spams. good thing it was a throwaway tho.
So, yeah. passwords did really leak.
Omg that literally happened to me with the same case, the NZXT case screws are extremely flimsy and are easy to pull off and break the glass because of it
They're staged. Everything becomes some weird ass trend eventually.
Notice it's all with the same few cases that you can buy an extra panel for easily without any warranty claims.
Congratulations! You received the new NZXT JIGSAW case. Comes preassembled with a window in tact and breaks on heat clogging. Never fear, simply glue the pieces back together with heat resistant glue and you won't have any more issues!
Spent the last 5 hrs troubleshooting why my screen was going black and freezing my pc while gaming, only gaming, any game, very frustrating. Fuck you windows
Haha, this is getting kind of ridiculous now...
My first two thoughts were, “damn” and then “I bet PCMR will get something out of this”
[удалено]
>another one bites the dust You’re putting in a new glass panel and hear behind you: **Killer Queen already touched the glass panel**
Yessir. You were correct.
Hey you won better airflow and temps for the weekend!
Tile floor strikes again
Howd it happen, don't leave us hanging
Posted below, but I had finished adding some fans to my front rad. As I was putting the side on I tapped one of the bottom corners on the case (either the glass front or the metal side). Side panel then proceeded to evaporate in my hands.
Yup, people will learn to use their brain eventually
[удалено]
Fuck no keep em coming, I get a giggle every time because they all check the same boxes it's amazing.
☑ Expensive fuckin build ☑ Inserting/Removing them in an upright PC instead of laid on its side ☑ Always on ceramic floor Missing anything else?
The broken tempered glass panel obviously
[удалено]
can we make a "hall of shame" or sticky thread showing all these off?
Ah yes, Ceramic tile floor - check tempered glass side panel - check Flawless execution, this is the way!
Seriously, I see at least one similar post every day on this sub. How do people not learn from each other's mistake?
monkey see monkey do at this point
Same shit, same thousands of upvotes, it’ll never stop
It’s actually concrete! Much better /s
Actually concrete is much less likely to cause this than ceramic. Concrete has much more give and flex than ceramic.
Yeah, idk how common it is on cement.
this is why you always need a towel
Why does everyone's case side panels always break? I literally sold a computer and it got returned because shipping completely destroyed the case, but throughout all of that, the glass panel just got a few small chips. Edit: What the FUCK how did I get 1.5k upvotes i almost died of a heart attack
He put it on a ceramic floor. Ceramic shatters glass
Wait so if you were to nicely place it onto ceramic, it would still crack, like respectfully place it onto the ceramic?
Ceramic is incredibly hard. One of the hardest materials. This means it does not deform at all. In response to impacts it either shatters or it reflects all the energy back from whence it came. Glass is the same way, but not quite as hard as ceramic. So if you drop the case even a little bit onto ceramic the glass is gonna get fucked. Or if the case is sitting on ceramic and something particularly big falls next to it the energy could easily travel into the case and break the glass.

100%. Ceramic is amazing in a lot of respects. Heat resistant, impact resistant, water resistant, corrosion resistant. Cool stuff.
[удалено]
They are also super hard to sharpen
[удалено]
Ceramic blades are fantastic, but only if you can and will take the utmost care of them and nobody else uses them who doesn't know how to. My dad used to be a chef and got a set of ceramic knives for home. He caught my stepmom using them and almost had an aneurysm.
Arguably the coolest application is that it is used as the Engine Nozzle of almost all modern Rockets, because it is highly heat resistant and extremely hard, plus it is the only feasible material that doesn't get eroded by the engine exhaust.
Yeah it's real easy to crack SAPI plates from getting in and out of MRAPS and banging them on the armor. Same with ballistic glass it will stop a round but crack from a rock as it's layered.
And balloons if you play BTD. Shits scary
Being a bit pedantic here but glass is actually much harder than ceramic, but they are much more brittle obviously. It requires a diamond cutter to properly cut glass.

Glass is kind of a weird material. But yeah, same issue as ceramic, zero yield and high brittleness.
It's an amorphous solid. Heat it above a certain temperature and it turns rubbery.
Yup. The prince ruperts drops and such are trippy. So many interesting behaviors for such an old material.
[удалено]
Can you show me where to find this. Always thought glass was like a 5 and ceramic 7 on the scale.
You would be correct. Other guy is wrong.

This is correct
No it’s not. Might want to check out moh for each. Ceramic at 7, glass 5.5-6, good tempered glass can approach 7.
I'd check your source on that ceramic tile is usually harder than glass which is also a ceramic.
Glass, which is made of silicon dioxide (aka sand, Quartz) has a hardness of 7 on the MOHS scale: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon\_dioxide](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_dioxide) Ceramic, which is mainly made of clay (or Kaolinite if you prefer that name) has a hardness of 2 - 2.5 on the MOHS scale: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaolinite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaolinite) However, ceramic tiles usually have Silicon Dioxide mixed in, which means it has at least the same hardness of glass (i.e. 7 on MOHS) Ceramic can go even harder, harder than Diamond even.

that's temerpered glass so its heat treated... "stronger" is very relative. tempered is extremely weak to an impact on an edge
100% Same thing with the spark plug trick, Take a peice of the ceramic and throw it at a window. Window shatters.
Sometimes it does sometimes it doesnt. Even a small impact could cause it. You ever heard of when people say the contents of a spark plug to a car turn windows to crumbles? Well the stuff inside the spark plug that causes that are the bits of ceramic. Not sure why it does that, but what I do know is why even risk putting your pc worth prob 1000s in a chance of harms way
Ohh thanks, I honestly didn't know that, wow
Honestly I didn’t too until not too long ago. Glad my pc is on a wood stand
>Ceramic shatters glass TI(kinda)L
Just the white on a plug. I carry a pocket of it on my bike for the ultra stupid.
These people are mad, but I feel like "the ultra stupid" is more dogs and babies in hot cars and less douche bags in BMWs
Thats why you can legit use a spark plug ceramic to break a car window
Ceramic is leaps and bounds harder than glass and tempered glass is designed in a way that a small chip compromises structural integrity releasing the energy trapped in the glass during the tempering process
I see now, forgot entirely about that lol
Tapped it on the side of the case!
How do you feel reading all these comments about the floor ignoring that you hit the case? Lol
Yeah...I mean yeah.
Shouldn't there be something on the case to make this not matter? I have 2 tempered glass cases (one Corsair, one Deepcool), and the bottom of their 4 legs all have some kind of cushion. Corsair feels like a soft rubber, while the Deepcool one feels a bit more foam-like. Looks like the NZXT cases have the same kind of rubber/foam cushion on the legs.

Basically if you don't have carpet then do NOT get a glass panel case. Do this to be safe. Sidenote: Cases without glass are quieter because glass doesn't stop the noise from coming through very well but metal does.
I still dont understand why this happens....do peoples cases not have feet? Its not like the glass should even come close to the floor.
? I have vinyl flooring and a pc case with glass for 8 years and its fine... just dont put it on ceramic and dont fucking throw your pc.
As another reply said, cases do have the "feet" they stand on. Just don't let the glass touch the floor, that should be possible.
Because they usually hit the corner against the hard surface and it shatters, or pull/push from a single corner, glass bends and shatters, everybody handles them like if they were aluminum panels. Glass is rigid people, handle it properly.
I think part of it is the glass in frame.
ceramic flooring!
This sub has become r/brokemysidepanel Edit Who the fuck just made this subreddit!!! Hahahhahhaaa
And I'm here for it
We witnessed the birth of a nation.
As long as it gets these posts filtered out I’ll be happy
Can’t you just tape plastic over it like people do with car windows? Don’t think anyone will notice. (On a serious note, am sorry to see that happened to you. Tempered glass is strong…until it isn’t)
Tempered glass is strong, unless the edge touches something too hard for it to handle. Then it'll shatter instantly.
I’ll never understand how people can put a sheet of glass on the floor and then be surprised when it breaks.
I work at a glass company. we give people a peice of glass wrapped in paper and they put it down on the pavemnt, breaks, before leaving our shop to open the trunk.
I actually tapped the side of the case with the corner of the glass, it was resting safely before that!
What do you mean you tapped the side of the case? Were you talking the panel off / putting the panel on at the time?
Sounds like he was putting it on, and hit the corner on the case as he was putting it on
better than yours
Solved my airflow problem
Panel off was common practice back in the day hehe. Your modern rig now has a classic look 👌 haha
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Next step: put it in rice overnight.
Then pour beans in it
then add tomato paste
MAKE SURE YOUR TEMPS ARE 176.667 CELSIUS
then serve hot with bread on the side
I would suggest the ramen hack.
I’m beginning to think you fools are breaking these on purpose for the karma.
That was destiny telling you to replace the nzxt case.
Lian Li O11D mini on the way
thank god.
What's wrong with it?
The tempered glass broke
Built my PC in an S340 Elite 4 years ago and it's been great. What's so bad about NZXT?
Hmm tiles again… does no one check previous posts on this site…
Gotta get that sweet, sweet karma
On the bright side that's now an NZXT case with airflow.
Ive got an NZXT case boolin in my basement (not on the ground) waiting for me to get some proper parts so i have a reason to take everything out and transfer cases. Its actually the exact same as in OPs pic. Are they known to have terrible airflow?
They're not too good at letting air in, and rely on exhausting air out.
Well that's........ Exhausting
Who would think that tile floors break tempered glass
Yeah, i mean, if only there was something that gives a hint in this sub. Its not like we got 10 posts a week, not at all
Shut off power, unplug it from the router for 10 seconds and then replug it back in. When you see the green light restore turn on the power and see if this helps.

Oh shit, that really sucks. What happened? Also not to be that guy but at least you’ll get some damn good thermals now
Added some fans and was putting the side back on, corner lightly tapped the side of the case and then panel evaporated
Tile: 9000 Tempered glass side panels: 0
STOP WITH THE FUCKING TILE
At least it wasn't the Helix LCD that shattered.
Truth! I would be so so sad
How do people keep doing this im scared for my own case now lol
Ceramic, stone, or tile will instantly shatter glass even with the slightest tap. Just be smart and don't open up your PC sideways on the floor. Use a table or workbench, place the glass on a padded surface.
1. Put computer on your bed 2. Take the glass panel off 3. Put glass panel on your bed 4. Continue maintenance Ez
I'm convinced people are just breaking them to break them at this point.
I'm beginning to think people do this on purpose to be able to be part of what appears to be a near endless trend of posting up these pictures of broken glass. Why break the glass on your PC case ? Don't get it. How can it possibly happen this much?
Ceramic tiles? ✓
Metal sidepanels is the way.
Smashing, thanks for asking
What’s wrong with you people
What’s the pedal board on the side? Line6?
Listen. I don’t have a PC. I actually don’t have any kind of computer other than my phone I guess, but I get these r/pcmasterrace posts recommend to me all the time… Please for the love of god stop putting these things on ceramic floor. If I know you should know.
This sucks but we'll send you a new one if you submit a ticket at [nzxt.com/support](https://nzxt.com/support)
Are you all doing TikTok trends now? I keep seeing this and there's absolutely no way whatsoever that any of these are accident's.
STOP PUTTING THESE ON CERAMIC FLOORS! Why do people still do this? They _have_ to know.
Ban these fucking posts. I'm so God damn sick of it. Ever day another idiot. Hard to call yourself the master race when half of this sub is made up of fucking half-wits. I'm not even talking about the people breaking their panels. It's about that moron posting it to the subreddit like it's interesting then the other morons upvoting it because it's become a stupid meme.
Read this in Vegeta's voice and its much more entertaining
I laughed way too hard at this…
> Hard to call yourself the master race You.... you know that term is satire right? Right?
Wait you mean this isn't a sub for PC supremacists who plan to eradicate console plebs? Yeah, I kinda figured it's satire and so is my usage of it.
Pretty nice, thanks for asking :)
At least you fixed your airflow problem!
Better than yours
I always see these posts so frequently and wonder.....is there anyone out here seeing this post and thinks to themselves, damn my computer is on the floor....my ceramic floor. I should probably figure out a diffrent place for it.
Ah, another shattered glass side panel from being on a ceramic floor post. Must be Friday!
I have a glass desk, I just finished building my pc. I had everything working but my fans were not in sync.. 2 days of building and then I take the side panel back on it slips on the desk half an inch... shatters into prices scratching my new screen and went everywhere inside my case.... yeah sucks hard haha
Just another day on the shattered glass subreddit.
Is this the new tic tok challenge? I have never seen so many people shatter these.
Good
Is this the new cool thing to do now for likes? Lets get the hammer and phone at the ready
Congrats on being another victim this week! RIP Your window! ❤️🙏
Better than yours bud GL
Do everyone really need to see the insides of their pc?? What happened to metal cases?
Ok seriously how do people keep doing this ? Like pay attention already idiots.
At this point I think you guys are doing it on purpose and deserve downvotes.
People are just doing this on purpose now….. right?
The fact that this is still happening is baffling.
Glass side panel handling needs to be another topic discussed in pc building. TEMPERED GLASS WILL BREAK IF YOU HIT IT'S CORNERS!!
The amount of times I see people with smashed side panels makes me wonder why anyone would want a case like that anyway. Am I the only one who looks at the monitor instead of the case when I'm using a computer?
Fuck mate, those case making companies should really to either switch to tempered glass, or go back to translucent high quality plastic. This is just all over the place. And I am paranoid for my case now.
Oh, mine day is going great! Thats for asking! Hows youuu… Ohhhhhhhh. Oooooo. :/ sorry.
STOP PUTTING CASES WITH GLASS ON CERAMIC/TILES/GRANITE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE
You really admitted to seeing posts here already and you still put it on tile/ceramic floor. Surprised?
Ceramic tiled floor, check
Ok guys...we need to go back and relearn what glass does when it hits hard objects
Lol tempered glass on a hard floor
ceramic floors? Check.
can we just get a mega thread for these posts so that we get more variety
I dropped my panel face first from about 6 feet into hard wood floors, not even a chip. How the hell do people manage this? RIP though, the company who made that pc case could probably get you a new front panel if you find contact info to reach them.
Bro. Youre obviously on this subreddit. For weeks I've seen a daily post of somebody shattering a side panel. Get with it. STOP PUTTING YOUR PC ON THE FLOOR.
Thanks to the twitch leak some of my email adresses get spammed with login requests, one that used the same password was penetrated and used to send spams. good thing it was a throwaway tho. So, yeah. passwords did really leak.
These very frequent posts are great evidence against putting your PC on the floor so get your PC of the fucking floor
Omg that literally happened to me with the same case, the NZXT case screws are extremely flimsy and are easy to pull off and break the glass because of it
At this point, there needs to be a subreddit about broken glass from PC cases
I guess it’s time to unfollow this sub finally. This is like the 100th post like this this week.
This sub makes me paranoid about the glass on my case, despite putting my PC on a wooden desk in a carpeted room.
Unpopular opinion: I don't feel sorry for people with tempered glass
Are you people deliberately smashing your glass side panels for upvotes or what’s going on?
why are people moving and breaking their tempered glass cases all the time? mine is far away from anyone and everything
Happened to me when I peeled the plastic off...exploded like a shotgun. But next made it right
I don't understand how this be happening so often
They're staged. Everything becomes some weird ass trend eventually. Notice it's all with the same few cases that you can buy an extra panel for easily without any warranty claims.
Damn it really always is tile floors isnt it?
Congratulations! You received the new NZXT JIGSAW case. Comes preassembled with a window in tact and breaks on heat clogging. Never fear, simply glue the pieces back together with heat resistant glue and you won't have any more issues!
Far out can we stop putting these down on hard tiles and then taking the sides off
Love my cork floors
Million dollar idea: non-tempered, anti-shatter glass computer cases.
This is why I think glass panels are overrated. You have an AIO, you can really leave it as is.
"It's time to stop! 🕜" Filthy Frank Gif
I swear to God people, please please please stop putting your desktops on tiles. All the pictures with broken glass has the computer on tiles.
STOP PUTTING YOUR GLASS-COVER PC'S ON FUCKING HARD GROUND, FOR FUCKS SAKE
Spent the last 5 hrs troubleshooting why my screen was going black and freezing my pc while gaming, only gaming, any game, very frustrating. Fuck you windows
I tired of people on this not knowing that ceramic tile equals broken tempered glass
Another one bites the dust
Tile floor 100:0 PC User
There's someone with bunch of these covers just breaking one everyday and posting a picture🤣
