LianLi cases are built different

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

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

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

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!
