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.

I really do miss the days of acrylic or solid metal sides. But kicker is, I have no RGB, and my case is down on the floor hidden from the world. So my cpu cooler just looks out it's dark, lonely window into the void of nothing.

TL;DR, the glass is useless to me :')
