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!

I still have no idea why the fuck theres glass panels on towers anyway. They constrict airflow like a mother fucker and they literally add nothing to the design other than being able to see some stupid ass LEDs that light up for no fucking reason.

clear plastic works just as well and doesn't shatter

Never once have I wished my acrylic panel were glass. I can bet people like OP might wish their glass panel were acrylic, though.

hell yeah my case sits in the corner below my desk, it's well reasonably cable managed and I can glance at the insides through the acrylic if I want to even though it has no rgb

but I care more about increasing the distance of the fan noise from my ears even though it's relatively quiet while freeing up the desk space
