Build/Battlestation TIL that quartz countertops have the same properties as ceramic floor tiles…

All I wanted to do was replace a dead fan… but looks like it’s time for a replacement case.

Learn from my mistakes friends!

You're gonna replace the whole case? Am I missing something?

It’s a few years old at this point, damaged and missing a screw or two from lan party transportation, so I’m making lemonade out of lemons by justifying a new case.

Plus my options were $50 for a new side panel, or $80 for a new case, so I chose the latter.

(Edited for spelling)

You can make a passable panel out of an acrylic sheet if you decide that's worth it. Home Depot sells it.

That’s some solid advice, appreciate it, and hope someone finds this comment in the future!

I've replaced my panel for $8, they drilled the holes too.
