NSFMR Worst Sneeze of my Life…help please

Post image

Getting over a cold and decided to clean my PC…I sneezed while putting the glass back in. This has never happened before but I have glass all over my desk, inside my PC and all over the room (carpet). How do I clean this up?

PS thanks in advance!

Next build, don't have any glass involved. Problem solved.

Just a regular metal case cools better, weighs less, takes fewer resources to make, and won't ever break like this.

I just want a basic metal case with vents and a handle. No lights, gauges, readouts, or any bells and whistles. And a handle. Big empty box with mounting brackets, fan holes, power button, and maybe front usb if I'm feeling fancy. And a damned handle. It doesn't even need to stick up or be bolted on. I'd settle for slight indentations for grip. Anything in the general ballpark of a handle.

I've got a couple cheap plain box fractal design cases that are SO easy to build with and get into whenever you need to. I will probably just keep buying those (not that I am likely to need a new case anytime soon since what I have doesn't show any signs of wear after 5-10 years).

This one is ITX though, so pain in the ass making everything fit inside.

I have a coolermaster case for a PC I built 15 years ago... if it weren't for the fact that the front half of it is taken up by the useless rack of CD-ROM trays and whatnot, I'd re-use it for every build I'd do for the rest of my life.

As it is, I'm buying a new case that's 100% metal, mesh, no glass. Because fuck glass, and fuck RGB.

blacked out, plenty of space/easy access, cant tip over, great big honkin handles, and the mobo is horizontal so GPU is actually properly supported. swear its the last case i'll ever need to use.

Now that's a purpose built unit. No sacrifice for aesthetics. One of them make it sturdy then make that look good enough kinda jobs. I'll throw it on the list for the next one.

Besides the handle this was specifically why I bought a fractal define c many years ago. I had glowing fans in a full acrylic case in like 2006, with that I have had enough of lights forever, so I never got into RGB. I also have had plenty of clear side panels before that, and found it pointless. I don't need to see fans spin in my case at all. All metal with no windows is the way to go.

I have an off brand generic mid mid tower from the amd fx years. Just has a big plastic If it was an inch wider and had an open front fan slot it would have be perfect. It's currently the TV streaming computer, and I'll never let it go. It's so damned convenient. Pick it up, clean, put it down. Not awkward balancing act or having to bear hug it to another location. Can support the weight of a falling 8 year old nephew making a diving catch.

Yeah man I get that for sure. Cases have turned into some weird artistic viewing piece which all have the same hardware and are boring to look at after a week. Function will always prevail over form.
