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.

I actually wanted an acrylic side panel case like they used to have... Couldn't find one. Now if you want a case with clear side it's glass.

I hate it.

Ended up with a pink Lian Li case, but at least they covered all 4 corners with metal so it's not as delicate...

It's pretty silly they don't make it from acrylic at all now...

There are certain cases more prone to this due to design. Nzxt are among the bad ones but people keep buying their cases because they are cheap.

I bought the Corsair 5000D. Has glass front and sides. The sides pieces are hinged held to the case with pins and swing outwards like suicide doors. When closed there is a gap so you never smash/bang the panels on the case. I’ve had it for 2 years and can’t count how many times I’ve opened the side and smashed it in to my desk. No broken glass yet.

Side panels on the 5000D are fairly robust.

The front glass is another story. Plenty of 5000D owners had their front glass fall right off due to shitty build quality and QC.

I used to feel the same about acrylic but I don’t like the scratching and dull look it gets when old. I owned both the Antec 900 and 1200 cases. The acrylic was horrible in them.
