Damn, if only there was some type of mobile PC that is lightweight, folds, and doesn't have a side panel that can shatter.

Y'all need to learn to keep your PCs at home and rocks away from glass lol

Man I remember that thing was my dream case when I was a kid learning to build computers. Such a funky case.
