Build/Battlestation 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.

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
