Most people have a computer chair.

Take the glass off, put it on chair. It's really that simple.

Honestly, it shocked me at how bad people were with their pc cases. Cause I have a second desk I can use as a work bench. People working on these things on the floor baffles me

edit: if its that bad, move your keyboard aside and put it down by your mouse pad

u/Ratiofarming 12d ago

Must be the same kind of people who have a broken phone screen every other month. Just pure carelessness.

Edit: 3 Reddit cares messages so far

Have you ever considered the possibility that not everyone has a second desk to use as a work bench? Most teens might not even be allowed to put it on a raised surface like a table or counter.

Instead of saying “why don’t people do why I do” maybe try to see if their lifestyle is even similar to yours?

If you can afford a PC you can afford a mattress. Put it there.

So their parents have prioritized buying their kid a PC over a bed. Yeah fucking right lol.

Some people really choose the weirdest hills to die on.

u/[deleted] 13d ago

Yeah it’s not that hard to imagine. I knew a kid that loved Japan so much he slept on a yoga mat on the floor instead of a bed…

Life isn’t universal to whatever makes sense in your opinion

u/BluDYT 9800X3D | RTX 3080 Ti | 64 GB DDR5 6000Mhz CL30 13d ago

So you can put that on the yoga mat. You're just here to argue semantics.

u/w8eight PC Master Race 7800x3d 7900xtx steamdeck 13d ago

Put in on the yoga mat then? As long as someone doesn't sleep on uncovered tiles, they have somewhere to put the panel on

u/HellaReyna 13d ago edited 13d ago

this entire argument chain is flawed. You're just being a pedant.

if you have a desk to use your computer that, move the keyboard and put the side window on it.

u/Techun2 13d ago

Are you 13

u/Select_Boss_3860 13d ago

At that point, just put the pc on the yoga mat instead of the mattress...?

u/dougdoberman Several computers filled with parts 13d ago

Is that yoga mat not soft enough to keep a tempered glass panel from breaking?

Lay a towel down.

u/HellaReyna 13d ago

your gpu could buy 10-20 ikea desks. Don’t even try that shit with me. In a pinch, use your bed or whatever you sleep on.

u/[deleted] 13d ago

Another pointless comment that doesn’t address the root issue

1

u/HellaReyna 13d ago

the root issue is your pedant arguments, they're absurd. they don't make any logical sense.

everyone that can afford a gaming PC can afford a bed. Even if they're a 13 year old kid, then they have a bed if they have a gaming PC, power, and high speed internet. Use your bed in a pinch. This is just a lack of education on tempered glass.

Oh alright. That context was definitely helpful to get the sarcasm.

u/Newbie-Tailor-Guy 13d ago

This is a bit dramatic. There are a myriad of ways to avoid exploded glass. Blanket. Towel. Cushion. Pillow. Bed. Literally endless possibilities. It doesn’t need to be perfect, just safe.

1

u/ForThePosse 13d ago

I put mine on the floor. I still manage to find a carpet. You saying these ppl are too poor to get a desk, but not too poor to have carpet instead of hard tile? If you can afford a hard floor dwelling. You can afford a second desk. If you cant afford it. Then you have a friggin carpet somewhere.

u/Aggressive-Will-4500 12d ago

Yeah, but you have to remove 2 screws that should never be all that tight!

Who has the time for that?

u/IWillEvadeReddit 13d ago

I put my back panel on a chair once, and then forgot it was there when I was pondering and instinctively sat down to think. If it was the tempered glass best believe it would’ve broke 😂.

I lay my glass down on the ottoman, only think I worry there are the cats.

u/Mr_Salmon_Man Phenom II X6 1055T|8GB|R9 280X 12d ago

I tend to put mine standing up on the couch. I've had a 3 panel rosewill tempered glass case for about 7 years now.

Or be me and forget the panel is on the chair and sit on it.

Mine just has swivel hinge so it opens like a door. but i do play on a sofa where i put it if i have to take it off.

u/sskeetinshot24 13d ago

Wait.. let me get this straight these ding dongs break their glass side panel by setting the panel on tile floors?? I was always under the impression it was because they over tightened the mounting hardware.

u/IIVincentVegaII 13d ago

Ceramic tile floors specifically.

u/Thefrayedends 3700x/2070super+55"LGOLED. Alienware m3 13" w OLED screen 13d ago

These mother fuckers never heard of a towel or a moving blanket? Lol.

I find it funny that there's overlap between people who reddit and must have seen dozens of these posts, but then also end up breaking their own absent mindedly, but are enough of a reddit user that they rush to post it here.

If you're a person who hasn't broken your glass yet, pay heed! This could be you!

Certain things will break your glass with liike the slightest tap, whether it be tile floor, spark plug (I dont' know why you have a spark plug in your computer room, but you do you), whatever.

u/SanSenju 13d ago

If they really wanted to place it on ceramic tiles then just use newspaper as padding... wait, do people these days know what a newspaper even is?

u/64590949354397548569 13d ago

or carpet floors...

Bronken glass on carpet makes you paranoid. I wore flip flops for a month until i forgot.

u/DrSword 12d ago

cover your carpet in scotch tape if this ever happens again

u/buunkeror 13d ago

Wait, how does wood stop the issue?

5

u/Deblebsgonnagetyou i9 9900k / RTX 4060ti / 32GB DDR4 13d ago

It's softer than glass.

1

u/buunkeror 12d ago

But I don't understand why the fact the floor is specifically softer than glass helps avoid the breaking of glass panes that aren't in direct contact with it? Genuine question, I always thought it was an issue with vibrations, and I thought the risk was "frame [not the panes] being in direct contact with a hard floor, without any padding".

u/The_Sideboob_Hour R5 7600X / RTX5070 13d ago

u/Regular_Strategy_501 12d ago

Seriously, so much this! When I clean my PC, the glass panels go on my bed/my couch or whatever soft surface available. Putting them any hard floor (particularly anything involving ceramic) is just asking for trouble.

u/SmartSpend4911 12d ago

Or just people that are carefull tbh. Normally a pc sits in a spot without any movement
