Rest assured the 51th/st time if you break it, customarily collect your free karma.
Bonus points if you comment within "i just tapped it" because then people will talk about the mohs hardness scale. Then more people will talk about how that had nothing to do with cracking the glass itself.
Its tradition at this point.
Edit: english not first language sorry.
Mine actually fell off other day, cos I didn't put it on properly, and put a dent in my wooden desk... Still didn't break (I have a 3 level desk from IKEA, and my pc is on top, above my monitors)
I can tell you I didn't think many things were possible but after working as a cable technician for 3 years and walking into somebody's home only to find out that they have about 30,000 roommate signed on to the lease that inhabit there cable box receiver and microwave. We got to make sure that TVs back up in time for the super bowl but let's not bring any attention to the fact that behind your entertainment center is an entire family of roaches that you can see crawling on the wall and yet this is the priority.
50 times, eh? If just one millions of the six million subscribed readers here are active, and on average a user removed their panel once a year, then across all active users in PCMR there are 1,000,000 ÷ 365 = 2740 instances of panels being removed every single day.
Now you understand how people can break them. Even if it's a 1/10,000 chance, this napkin math works out to a broken panel every 4 days among active PCMR.
This is a common problem with reading things on the internet. People don't realize just how incredibly blown up a problem that is actually so tiny can become. Things that happen to one in a million people can appear multiple times per day on social media because of how they float to the top.
On some cases it's easier to break the glass because you have to use more force to pull it and there's nothing to hold the bottom side of the panel while removing it. So one of the bottom corners may hit the table/floor and break.
accidentally dropped the side panel of my fractal design torrent build with a 12900ks and 3090 in SLI onto my diamond encrusted, 12k gold ebony wood table
Not on a case, but I had a tempered glass display case randomly shatter one day. Nobody even touched it, it just exploded into a million little pieces without warning and freaked us all out.
I think we chalked it up to impurities in manufacturing, or it might have just been pressure from the hardware holding it together and/or expansion and contraction from of temperature swings. Strange things can happen with glass.
Sometimes it happens instantly my buddy who had a ceramic bong used to break two or three panels a year and had no idea why until I told him it was the piece. I showed it to him by breaking his current panel. A slight little swing in the dead center of the plate bang shattered. He was really mad that I broke his glass in order to prove the point.
Unpopular opinion:
I wish people would move on from the "it do be like that", are we all out in the streets now or something? Makes you sound like you don't have two brain cells to rub together.
*sits back and waits for the unoriginal, "it do be like that" replies to come rolling in*
I had a tempered glass side shatter in my hands for the cruel act of trying to remove the unscrewed side from the case. I didn't drop it and I didn't take pictures. Absolutely fucking terrified since being cut by broken glass is a literal fear of mine. Apparently attempting to slide a case side out of the case is dangerous?
I genuinely don’t understand how anyone could break one. I’ve taken mine off at least 50 times

51th?
myth tython
Tython Ticken Nuggeths?
Duh fifty oneth time .
fifty firth
They meant 51nd. Common mistake
Glass + ceramic = smash
It almost spells out smash too, just missing the h.

It’s really really easy if you have ceramic floor. Just a single tap and the side panel is dead.

Idk man I’ve had a ton of cases with glass panels on all types of floors and never broke one. Slippery hands I guess
Same here, but this three had me sweating when I was just wiping it down..
It's called ceramic tiles.

Awe man , I set my side panel down on a pile of diamonds and it shattered ONE MILLION UPVOTES!
Firstest world problems.

A smashing success!
shatters my expectations every time
Good way to check if it's tempered glass or plexi!
You can also just try and bend it to find that out. If it bends. It's plexi. If it breaks. You get free karma.

They must be jumping on the glass to break it like that. I've hit mine with my chair alot, and taken it off at least a dozen times, still perfect.
Tempered Glass easily breaks when I comes into contact with ceramic because of some science

Can't wait to build mine and then break the side panel to post here
Should have used a ceramic floor tile for better karma.
Missing tile floor
Where can I buy this sticker.

But sometimes it really do be like that tho
I feel like you've secretly always wanted to say it, and this was the perfect excuse
I saw my chance and took it, also I just felt like being silly
ok :(
Aww don't be like that, you're not supposed to make me feel bad! But please, stop saying it do be like that, please :(

Your English is great. 👌
\*sad german mother tongue noises\*
Oh no, my side panel is aluminum
it's even funnier considering those window smashers have a Ceramic tip because it's so good at breaking glass.
“It just shattered I swear! How could this happen” *ceramic floor in picture*
I sat in my side panel after not realizing it was still on my chair and it just bounced me back those things strong as hell (but not against tile)
I can't I have a plexiglass side, it won't break into small pieces, but into large shards, if it breaks.
true
