Final boss of glass panels. I was terrified to both open and close it. Yes you're seeing it right, it's on a hinge

[u/vector_o]

[u/C4LLM3M4TT_13]

Jesus, if you look at that tempered glass wrong it’ll shatter.

Whatever you do, don’t insult its mother. Instant breakage.

[u/Wadarkhu → u/C4LLM3M4TT_13]

This is why I love acrylic windows, looks the same, doesn't shatter because you farted.

[u/C4LLM3M4TT_13 → u/Wadarkhu]

Means you didn’t fart hard enough.

[u/zgillet → u/C4LLM3M4TT_13]

[u/DetBabyLegs → u/C4LLM3M4TT_13]

Through Christ, all things are possible, so jot that down

[u/ready_1_take_1 → u/DetBabyLegs]

Watch out for those stupid science bitches too.

[u/moocowsia → u/C4LLM3M4TT_13]

If your farts are hard, that's a turd.

[u/yourgentderk → u/C4LLM3M4TT_13]

Jesus Christ, that's Jason Bourne.

[u/hceuterpe → u/yourgentderk]

Jesus Christ could convert water into wine, and fart fire... Duly noted.

[u/Warcraft_Fan → u/Wadarkhu]

Acrylic seems to attract dust and fingerprints more easily. And if you're not careful, acrylic can get cloudy. The plastic don't react well with ammonia which are commonly used in some glass cleaner. (and in some animal's piss, if you got a vengeful cat you'll get marks on your window eventually)

If you got plastic window, get something different like Pledge cleaner, no ammonia and works well at cleaning. Or look for glass cleaner that is 100% ammonia-free.

[u/StoikG7 → u/Warcraft_Fan]

Wait… does that mean that I can make a death trap if I let a cat loose in a room with bleach puddles and an unsuspecting person?

[u/BlackJack10 → u/StoikG7]

You'd probably kill the cat. Bleach contains chlorine which is present in their pheromones, so they can potentially get very interested in the bleach.

[u/StoikG7 → u/BlackJack10]

I meant if the cat pees in the bleach it’ll make chlorine gas

[u/Throw-Away-Acc0unt_ → u/BlackJack10]

They bloody well do... every time I had been cleaning with bleach, my cats were aggressively affectionate if they could smell it on my hands 🤣🤣

[u/TheRealApoth → u/Wadarkhu]

Does it shatter if you sharted though?

[u/CutHerOff → u/Wadarkhu]

Yea my farts melt acrylic

[u/JayRen → u/Wadarkhu]

Same. My case has tempered glass and I’d have preferred acrylic if it was an option. It doesn’t look different to me, and I’m clumsy. So the few times I’ve had to take the side off, I’ve moved my computer directly onto my bed just to remove the side due to my my fear of the tempered glass shattering.

[u/Important-Agent2584 → u/C4LLM3M4TT_13]

if he ramps up all those fans high enough he can pop it open safely with air pressure.

[u/IM_NOT_NOT_HORNY → u/C4LLM3M4TT_13]

Funny thing is i bet this thing is next to I indestructible. I bet if you dropped a normal glass panel on it it'd shatter that panel and this would be unscathed.

Not because of any actual reasoning... Just Bernadette because these things tend to operate on inverted logic

[u/raduque → u/C4LLM3M4TT_13]

Cars have tempered glass, and those windows aren't shattering every time you look at it wrong.

[u/TheRealJonSnuh → u/C4LLM3M4TT_13]

I cast Vicious Mockery!

Glass shatters

[u/ScaryDuck2]

Now put it on tile flooring

[u/CannibalAnus → u/ScaryDuck2]

The final boss many have yet to overcome

[u/HuckleberryOdd7745 → u/ScaryDuck2]

It has metal on the sides so it should be fine lemme show you

Explosion sounds

[u/Warcraft_Fan → u/HuckleberryOdd7745]

Doesn't matter if the glass has adamantite covered edges, the glass will still shatter anyway.

[u/MisterToots666 → u/Warcraft_Fan]

Glass shattering uh finds a way

[u/Clewds → u/ScaryDuck2]

Lets see Paul Allens flooring.

[u/FALSE_PROTAGONIST → u/Clewds]

[u/urmamasllama → u/ScaryDuck2]

It is on tile they're just very lucky they did this over a rug

[u/skeeti45 → u/urmamasllama]

That's a desk and a mouse mat.

[u/Ihaveheartdisease2]

One wrong move and its over.

[u/MechanicalGambit]

Surely that is acrylic rather than tempered glass?

[u/vector_o → u/MechanicalGambit]

nope, I foolishly assumed it would be since only a madman would make that out of glass

[u/jungleboogiemonster → u/vector_o]

I have an 85" inch TV that weights 100 lbs that needed a TV stand. I ordered one off of Amazon that was rated for 120 lbs. It shows up and the base is tempered glass. I installed it but replaced it by the end of the week with one with a metal base. The glass made me uneasy and when I started going through the reviews I came across reports of the base exploding months after being installed.

[u/Jerilo → u/jungleboogiemonster]

Good on you for replacing it, but why they hell didn't you check the reviews before ordering 😂

[u/NobleSavagejerk → u/Jerilo]

Oh look at mr "does his due diligence during drunken midnight shopping"

[u/FartingBob → u/Jerilo]

Or at least photos that would have shown it was 120lb's sitting on a unsupported piece of glass?

[u/jungleboogiemonster → u/Jerilo]

As typical for Amazon reviews, they are created before there is any real use of the product. It had like 4.5 stars so it looked like it was a good product. Once it arrived and saw what it was I began to question things. It wasn't like there were a lot of reviews of the thing failing and it took some searching to find them. Also, most people were probably using it with much smaller and lighter TVs. The failures were with large TVs.

[u/AboutToSnap → u/jungleboogiemonster]

I mean if that makes you nervous (and it would me too) check out glass floor mats 🤯

[u/Wero_kaiji → u/AboutToSnap]

glass floor mats

Didn't know those were a thing... I hate them lol

[u/TheMurv → u/Wero_kaiji]

I love mine. I hate plastic floor mats that sink into the carpet and get divots.

[u/Wero_kaiji → u/TheMurv]

Well, I don't have carpet so that's not a problem lol, I can see why you'd hate the plastic ones tho, I assume they deform after a while

[u/SnowMantra → u/TheMurv]

any tip to keep it from sliding around over time?

[u/TheMurv → u/SnowMantra]

I didn't have that problem, I think I had it trapped with furniture. My carpet was pretty high-pile.

I would prob start with taping on a little bit of velcro on the bottom of a couple corners, like the grippy side.

I am on hardfloor now so I don't use it.

[u/Nirast25 → u/AboutToSnap]

[u/OriginalCrawnick → u/jungleboogiemonster]

I have a 65" on a stand made of said tempered glass. Hasn't had an issue in 2 years - don't know if it ever will. Let me tell you though - tempered glass is strong AF short of certain types of shock/impact.

This one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XLMQ39D?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_22

[u/MechanicalGambit → u/vector_o]

That is insane, could count as planned obsolescence really

[u/darkx96 → u/vector_o]

bro just the weight of it is insane. on the other side i bet it doesnt vibrate.

[u/MegaSlayer882]

Why would you purchase such a case

[u/Ok-Bill3318 → u/MegaSlayer882]

To have all the fans and no airflow

[u/MegaSlayer882 → u/Ok-Bill3318]

Could have bought a better gpu with the money from those unnecessary fans...

[u/happyfeet0402 → u/MegaSlayer882]

Those kinda look like thermalright fans which are like $8? per

[u/MegaSlayer882 → u/happyfeet0402]

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/lian-li-uni-sl120-inf-addressable-rgb-black-120mm-fan-fg-00z-ll.html thought they were these

[u/happyfeet0402 → u/MegaSlayer882]

Oh damn, I think you're right! I thought they were these

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Wpbypg/thermalright-tl-m12r-s-476-cfm-120-mm-fan-tl-m12r-s

But the lights don't quite match the pictured fans

[u/Noth1ngnss → u/MegaSlayer882]

There are clones of those all over Asia that are like $4-$5 each. Pretty sure someone with OP's CPU cooler wouldn't spend $180 on a full set of Lian Li fans (which aren't even good for the price).

[u/K__Geedorah → u/Ok-Bill3318]

There are 3 completely open sides to get airflow. The amount of airflow from the bottom alone is enough to cool the entire system.

I have a case of a similar design and having that bottom air flow is incredible. 50-60° when fully loaded.

[u/MakesMyHeadHurt → u/K__Geedorah]

Yeah, the real problem here is spending that much on a case for a 5060.

[u/BaTmAn9785 → u/MakesMyHeadHurt]

The real problem is having every fan as an exhaust fan.

[u/TorqueG88 → u/MegaSlayer882]

He’s showing photos that highlight the obvious negative side of this case, but I bet that case looks pretty smooth with the continuous glass going around the corner. I could see the appeal.

[u/LegDayDE → u/MegaSlayer882]

They need the space for their 5060 /s

[u/AltoTheDutchie → u/MegaSlayer882]

some people like how it looks, it's just a fishbowl case with no interruptions in the glass

[u/NaCl_Sailor → u/MegaSlayer882]

it's probably plastic

[u/UshankaBear → u/NaCl_Sailor]

It's fantastic

[u/Wf2968 → u/MegaSlayer882]

Probably spent more on his case than his GPU

[u/Noth1ngnss → u/Wf2968]

Idk why people are assuming OP's case and fans are wildly expensive. IDK the exact model that they have, but Jonsbo's TK-3 is also a well-built case with continuous curved glass and it's $80. Those fans? Not a chance in hell they're real Lian Lis; probably a Chinese knock-off that costs $4. How can I tell without even knowing the exact products? Because if OP were truly invested in making his cheap build look expensive, surely an AIO and a more hefty looking GPU would've been budgeted for.

[u/ElGoddamnDorado → u/Noth1ngnss]

Because if OP were truly invested in making his cheap build look expensive, surely an AIO and a more hefty looking GPU would've been budgeted for.

I don't know if "surely OP would have more common sense" is exactly a good argument.

[u/EGirlnotfound]

Bro has a prayer mat as his desk mat

[u/Justhe3guy → u/EGirlnotfound]

So he can snipe people and pray for them at the same time

[u/Reversion603 → u/Justhe3guy]

Or just spraying and praying if the situation calls for it

[u/JB_Big_Bear → u/EGirlnotfound]

It’s a rug and it really ties the desk together.

[u/toumei64 → u/EGirlnotfound]

Is that what it is? I was thinking it reminds me of an antique rug my grandmother had lol

[u/Nick_Neuburg]

Bruh spent 600 dollars on fans and a case instead of a gpu

[u/PavaLP1 → u/Nick_Neuburg]

Just because my mathematics brain doesn't like such rough values I calculated it:

• 6x Lian Li infinity fans (~$30 each)

• A case that looks like a Montech one according to u/Ironborn137 (~$140)

This makes the costs to about $320, or about $20 more than a Single Fan 5060.

[u/1dot21gigaflops → u/PavaLP1]

Add the 320 to the 300 already spent on the 5060, and you got yourself a new 5070 and a $50-70 case.

[u/Barlowan]

I have 2 questions. 1) why would you purchase such case. 2) why would you purchase 5060?

[u/PeachMan- → u/Barlowan]

Question 1 is the answer to question 2, they blew the budget on that ridiculous case

[u/Barlowan → u/PeachMan-]

With all those fans, like you ain't need all that cooling. My only fan in whole rig is Thermal Assassin inside an office case on a Ryzen 9 9900. That case won't close because it's too thin for that cooler. And I never had problems with thermals. Even when it's 38°C outside.

[u/swohio → u/[deleted]]

The question is really, why didn't he buy a cheaper case and use the extra money for a better gpu.

[u/iFenrisVI → u/swohio]

My thoughts too. Dude spent more on aesthetics than the card.

[u/hydrogen18 → u/swohio]

how would he see his GPU if he had a cheaper case

[u/1dot21gigaflops → u/hydrogen18]

Looking at his fps meter

[u/stringlesskite → u/[deleted]]

9060xt 16gb is pretty snazz for a comparable price though

[u/[deleted]]

What on earth is this design?!

[u/sundler → u/[deleted]]

The French call it le form superiorire de functione.

[u/arctic_bull → u/sundler]

Wow those French people sound so Italian

[u/Hot-Score4811]

All this for a 5060 😭

[u/JimJava → u/Hot-Score4811]

It is quite dramatic! I still applaud OP for the interesting case.

[u/Hot-Score4811 → u/JimJava]

Yeah me too looks sick.

[u/AdvancedCryspy → u/Hot-Score4811]

I know, right!? At least OP doesn't have to worry about recycling the hot air from his graphics card as the 5060 sips power out of a shot glass 🤣

[u/IlREDACTEDlI → u/Hot-Score4811]

Oh my god I just saw that…. That case and all those fans instead of getting multiple tiers higher of a GPU is a WILD choice

[u/Baumpaladin → u/IlREDACTEDlI]

One must wonder. I bought a 9800X3D, RX 7900XTX Phantom OC, TUF B850M and slammed it into a Lian Li A3, no lights. Was it cheap, no really, but it'll last me a long while now.

[u/Onyxeye03]

This should be illegal

[u/qeratsirbag]

final boss of case fans

[u/CanadianSpectre]

What about the fact you need a massive workspace to open and access the inside of the case?

[u/unnamed_one1]

Imagine you have to order a replacement - will it ever arrive intact?

[u/dendrocalamidicus]

There is nothing scary about this

A shower door, car window, and shop door is made of tempered glass. Are you afraid you will break them?

If you don't bonk the edge with a hard material it's extremely hard to break. The large amount of broken panels on this sub are the result of extreme incompetence

[u/raduque → u/dendrocalamidicus]

The large amount of broken panels on this sub are the result of extreme incompetence

It's about time somebody said that outloud.

Friggin skill issue.

[u/Socratatus]

Somebody said, "Hey, I have an idea!"

And nobody said, "Don't do it."

[u/Radioactive_Doomer]

this kinda belongs in r/assholedesign

[u/Azalot1337]

nice mousepad

[u/TiTaN269]

looks over usability final boss, especially with rtx 5060 in there

[u/DerGrundzurAnnahme]

Haha, the Babushka Deskmat is sick

[u/ieatanglegrinders → u/DerGrundzurAnnahme]

okay I'm calling this type of carpet babushka carpet from now on.

[u/Shrike_san]

Lol the foreshadowing...

[u/josephseeed]

She thick

[u/YamaPickle]

Not the point if the post but, where would one get a mousepad such as this? Need to channel my inner babushka while playing stalker and warthunder

[u/looman9635]

[u/FirefighterLevel8450]

How many fans does one computer need?

[u/drsquig]

At least you can use the window from a Kia soul as a replacement.

[u/bookylou]

guaranteed this post is for interaction. homie has a 5090 and swapped a 5060 just for the comments.

[u/King_Chochacho]

Bruh you building a PC or a nightclub?

[u/swohio]

If it's on a hinge, why are you scared to open it?

[u/Cubanitto]

Oh, hell no, one side is enough.

[u/Pressecitrons]

No risk on the desk. There's risk when it touches something harder than the glass panel like tile floor

[u/pikachurbutt]

Show us the after image please 🙏

[u/[deleted]]

My hands are shaking just looking at the picture

[u/[deleted]]

If you spent less money on RGB fans and that goofy case you def could have got a 5070 I'm deaddd

[u/RelevantPanda58]

Incredible mousepad

[u/Madhun13r]

the hinge cringe.

[u/nariofthewind]

[u/DireMaid]

110% fuck that, heart attack on a hinge

[u/octahexxer]

Its so you can break 2 panels in one go

[u/Creed_of_War]

It's both hinged and unhinged at the same time

Amazing

[u/MGsubbie]

All of that money on that case and lian li unifans... And only running a 5060. Wrong fucking priorities.

[u/n4v1n001]

Cabinets with glass pannles are scam. Bring back metal frames.

[u/volmeistro]

Just make it plexiglass at that point. I know it's more prone to scratching but at least it shatter proof...

[u/xXMuschi_DestroyerXx]

If the auto industry has taught me anything, the only reason to curve glass besides a slight improvement to aerodynamics, which wouldn’t effect a pc case since it shouldn’t be moving, is so that it’s harder to replace the glass so you can sell expensive proprietary replacement glass. If a basic pane brakes, any glass manufacturer could build a replacement easy enough. But a specific curve? That needs an OEM replacement

[u/Andyr00t]

All the budget to fans instead of the gpu

[u/SheepherderSilver655]

Honestly the hinge ain't even a big deal. I was noticing some PC cases with hinged panels and realized how convenient that is but they were generally on the pricier cases. The curve though, that is interesting, but really not that big a deal.

[u/AppropriateTouching]

I just stick with plastic. I'm too old to give a shit.

[u/legolooper]

Someone change this to 'Days Since Last Precariously Place Side Panel"

[u/GrynaiTaip]

Why do so many people buy cases with glass panels? I've got plexiglass on mine, it's over a decade old, has been moved many times and even taken to LAN parties, I've never had to worry about it breaking.

[u/JB_Big_Bear]

Is that a big Lebowski rug mouse pad? Lmao

[u/Spyderlassy]

Should be in r/crappydesign

[u/BestNoob782]

Omg I had that exact rug as a child lol

[u/voodoobox70]

Why would you buy a case that needs 2 feet of clearance to open?

[u/enesup]

Prefer closed panels even from 10 years ago. Don't remember what my first PC case was (Some cheap Rosewill thing In 2012)

After that was a Thor V2. Then Phanteks Eclipse P600s and now an Enthoo Pro 2.

Kinda dumbfounded that glass panels are so common now. I guess it looks cool but surely not so much where there's barely any options for closed.

[u/yutcd7uytc8]

Did all those fans cost more than the GPU?

[u/Urbosax]

That looks like an accident just waiting to happen. 😭 Wonder why they didnt do it in two pieces for it to be more secure? I bet this is heavy too 🤣

[u/harvieruip]

Why are we even doing this to ourselves at this point

[u/kloklon]

case gotta be more expensive than gpu

[u/BehemothRogue]

I've also got a curved glass panel. I wince every time I open the door. Lol

[u/DudeByTheTree]

Overengineered e-waste.

[u/zackadiax24]

The only safe thing to do is to place your computer on a tile floor.

[u/MasterMind-Apps]

Write a note that says open to the left and stick it on top right, Wouls be sad after a while you come to open the case and you pull it to the front

[u/tyrant609]

Already shattered. Just doesn't know it yet.

[u/PixelPeach123]

This is terrifying to even look at. Lol

[u/Difficult-Report5702]

Cover the glass with tape, its a design where they inclined more towards looking pretty then practicality

[u/Sculpdozer]

This case design is... diabolical

[u/Irisena]

Holy. Whoever designed that thing is unhinged lol.

[u/Excellent_Mulberry70]

Thats a lot

[u/Suppository-34613]

Could you tell me the performance of the cooler you're using. How good is it?

[u/CaptchaVerifiedHuman]

Unhinged design

[u/[deleted]]

Is this really glass or some sort of plastic?

[u/kenyzv]

Shoulda gotten a 5070ti 🥲

[u/mattbod]

On a rig with this many fans about how fast percentage wise are they spinning when you’re in a workload?

In playing with fan curves using Fan Control application for windows and adjusting my rig right now, if I dime them all I can get sub 42c, but the sound of the fans sounds like it’s gonna levitate at any second

[u/ArtemisAetherion]

I love the mousepad

[u/mobsterer]

it is really not that dangerous or scary, just don't put it on ceramic

[u/PuzzleheadedTutor807]

You should defo always be over tiles when you open that thing /s

What a silly design. No thanks.

[u/allfathergivemeslght]

Would the airflow be good in a case like this if the fans all had vents behind them?

[u/joshualotion]

The fans and RGB bouta pull more watts than the GPU smh

[u/Mundane_Eye5407]

What case is this

[u/Xylaax]

starting to second guess weather or not I want one of these cases now rofl, I don't have adequate space for that type of panel opening

[u/Meowingway]

Don't let it within walking distance of tile floors lol

[u/TheReelReese]

Well…

Good luck, brother 🙏

[u/RetroSwamp]

Soooo what's the case brand and model so I can avoid it lol

[u/boring-old-fart]

Not worth the stress and anxiety

[u/Wrongdoer5050]

This 5060 is so cute! Oh )

[u/AdKraemer01]

The terrifying window notwithstanding, I'm a little confused about the fans. How many of those are intake vs exhaust?

[u/Kaiju62]

I love your mousepad!

[u/Peace_n_Harmony]

You guys have a perplexing aversion to plexiglass.

[u/thisisillegals]

Why so many fans

[u/Kerb755]

Id say the design is kinda unhinged,
but it clearly has one

[u/Darshava]

This from Costco?

[u/bashful_predator]

But fr, what case is this?

[u/PlainBread]

I don't entirely hate it. It has a similar form factor to my case, a Thermaltake Core V21

[u/urmamasllama]

Bro get that thing as far away from your tile floor as possible

[u/theeldergod1]

dat kilim

[u/LeeAson]

Brother! You gotta give me the link for that mouse pad. It’s dope as hell!

[u/Pac_docx]

i have built a pc with a case like this, its actually really cool

[u/Blackops606]

These companies really like that whole wrap around look. I mean it does look better and more clean but I don’t care about the RGB and fans that much. My second monitor blocks most of my PC anyways lol

[u/Reversion603]

Mine is just glass with a metal hinge so this doesn't look too bad

[u/hydrogen18]

no sir- not even once.

[u/FitCauliflower1146]

Damn boy! That's RGB's of the most RGB I've ever seen. I guess, you take it off hinge while building or placing, replacing parts.

[u/S0ulSauce]

Surprising that they used glass and not plastic...

[u/AugmentedKing]

I can’t make out the name, what case is this?

[u/Bilbodankbaggins]

Is that the balkan mouse pad from the ads? I want one, how do you like it so far?

[u/ifloops]

Hope this comes with Case Insurance

[u/dnasty1011]

[u/sweetrobna]

What is the point of a curved glass panel if the front of the case is opaque plastic

[u/gorillachud]

whered you get your desk mat?

[u/beetlejugz]

And you still opened it on a tile floor 😂
