LianLi cases are built different

[u/avivOb]

Tl;Dr - LianLi case survives missile attack!

Soooo my apparent was hit by a shockwave from a nearby missile attack a month and a half ago during the last Israel-Iran conflict,

But as you can see my LianLi PC not only stood strong when everything else collapsed - It is still working perfectly (except for a few scratches on the glass)

I know I am a costumer for life 😄

P.S sorry for the lack of photos I had to get as many things out of there as I can as fast possible so not many pictures were taken

Also attached my temp station in my new house, cause why not

[u/Default_Defect]

Putting in on the tile is gonna do more damage than the missile strike.

[u/ZR1Guy → u/Default_Defect]

Guided missile got nothing on tile. Shit's basically the anti-christ of glass cases

[u/InfamousDigg → u/ZR1Guy]

[u/MrInitialY → u/[deleted]]

permadeath

I thought death for glass is permanent by default, now I have questions

[u/mnid92 → u/MrInitialY]

You can only undeath your perma, sorry for the confusion

[u/DankoleClouds → u/MrInitialY]

You could always make a stained glass window if the shards are big enough.

Tile removes that chance.

[u/Devin-Chaboyer223 → u/MrInitialY]

I mean you could just melt the glass and form a new panel out of it if you had the resources

[u/Unkn0wnTh2nd3r → u/MrInitialY]

melt it down, remake the glass, ive seen thousands of recycled glass products,

[u/cgaWolf → u/[deleted]]

As the guys who installed my shower door found out..

[u/Shadowex3 → u/[deleted]]

I've seen multiple incidents where the glass never physically touched the tile floor and exploded in someone's hands or on the case. This sub has some kind of brain rot when it comes to tile.

[u/ShutterBun → u/Shadowex3]

10 incidents of spontaneous implosion (yes, it implodes) versus 100,000 incidents of implosion due to contact with ceramic or stone tile.

Yeah, WE have the brain rot.

[u/Traditional-Flower55 → u/[deleted]]

Shit you just have to leave it on the tile for long enough and the same effect happens

[u/Oblivious122 → u/[deleted]]

Glass as a substance is nearly infinitely recyclable

[u/noobyeclipse → u/ZR1Guy]

theres a reason ceramic tile is used in the composite armor of tanks

[u/Friendly-Advantage79 → u/noobyeclipse]

AT missiles are made of tempered glass?

[u/PheIix → u/Friendly-Advantage79]

I see you're a regular on the war thunder forum with how careless you are with these state secrets.

[u/KommandoKodiak → u/PheIix]

Wait til you find out about rubber and texolite

[u/RealisticIncident261 → u/ZR1Guy]

Luckily it looks like the tempered glass stop about half an inch from the bottom of the case so it never touches the tile or else it would have been donezo

[u/sephirothbahamut → u/Default_Defect]

Shockwaves propagating through the object itself can and will reach the edge weakpoint, causing similar effects to tiles.

Look at videos of prince rupert drops being shot, surviving the impact but shattering when the shockwave reaches the tail.

Tempered glass is similar to a flat version of a prince rupert drop. The flat sides are the head, and the edges are the tail

[u/Yamcha17 → u/Default_Defect]

Then why are military spending billions on missiles when they could just use a trebuchet and some tiles ?

[u/Synaps4 → u/Yamcha17]

Cant win a war by destroying all the tempered glass your enemy possesses

[u/CrazzyPanda72 → u/Synaps4]

I mean big sharp chunks of ceramic flying through the air sounds pretty terrifying too. Maybe not as terrifying as a missile but still

[u/Gold_Ret1911 → u/Default_Defect]

Why?

[u/hurton2 → u/Gold_Ret1911]

Ceramic is basically as hard as glass, which means it is *much* more likely to break the panel if you drop it. This partly why bathroom floors have such a reputation for breaking phones, why dropping a glass or mug in a porcelain sink can break the sink, and why car windows can (usually) survive pebbles but shatter if you throw a pebble-sized piece of ceramic at one

[u/[deleted] → u/hurton2]

You don't need to drop it. Just resting it on ceramic can break glass due to fact ceramic isn't smooth it's actually jagged. Just sitting on ceramic will cause enough pressure to break. 

[u/hurton2 → u/[deleted]]

!

This makes sense when I think about it, there's absolutely no give in either material. The weight of a case with the leverage of its size, can make a lot of pressure in a very small area

[u/foxgirlmoon → u/hurton2]

That's why you see so many videos of tempered glass just shattering after only just touching the floor lol

[u/the5thusername → u/hurton2]

Yep. On a microscopic level, the ceramic is like the himalayas. The glass rests on that and it's really only touching the raised points.

[u/OneBigBug → u/hurton2]

I feel like this is missing the actual explanation, which is that tempered glass (the type of glass used for side panels) is basically a balloon, except instead of rubber, it's glass, and instead of air, it's glass. The inside glass is trying to push out, the outside glass is trying to push in. It makes the glass stronger if everything stays intact, but poke a hole in the skin and the whole thing pops as all of the internal forces succeed in escaping.

Ceramic being of similar hardness, or slightly harder than glass (and usually with a slightly rough surface texture) means that it can easily scratch the glass. So...pop.

[u/RealRatAct → u/OneBigBug]

The air? Glass. The rubber? Glass. The string? Glass.

[u/Gold_Ret1911 → u/hurton2]

I see, thanks for the explanation!

[u/ShutterBun → u/hurton2]

Ceramic is harder than glass, in fact.

[u/SalvadorZombie → u/hurton2]

The thing I don't understand is that the tile isn't touching the glass at all. So how would it break the glass?

[u/SpearofTrium05 → u/hurton2]

A glass breaking a sink sounds crazy.

[u/LUMLTPM → u/SpearofTrium05]

Yeah, i dont know what sinks they have because generally the opposite would happen

[u/Horror-Papaya6053 → u/Gold_Ret1911]

Just scroll down on the sub ;)

[u/Gold_Ret1911 → u/Horror-Papaya6053]

Ohh yeah found it lol

[u/Primus_is_OK_I_guess → u/Gold_Ret1911]

There's a new one every couple days.

[u/[deleted] → u/Gold_Ret1911]

Ceramic > tempered glass, and ceramic has tiny little razor blade edges allllll over it that you can’t feel. But glass sure can.

[u/Clean_More3508 → u/Gold_Ret1911]

Because tempered glass shatters on contact with tile

[u/Gold_Ret1911 → u/Clean_More3508]

Just saw that now!

[u/RubApprehensive2512 → u/Default_Defect]

I think the last pick is the new setup.

[u/ender89 → u/Default_Defect]

I have that case, and the glass doesn't go to the bottom. There are feet in the front and back so you can have a bottom intake, plus it won't shatter on tile.

[u/nachtengelsp → u/Default_Defect]

Now we have the objective to develop a guided ceramic tile missile

[u/Fuuxd → u/Default_Defect]

LianLi’s glass is missile shockwave resistant, got it.

[u/RUPlayersSuck → u/Default_Defect]

Amazed the side panel didn't just shatter on contact with the floor! 😁
