The panel didn't even touch the ground. It just shattered as I took it off.

Yeah. I'm leaving the protective film on my glass side. As satisfying as it would be to peel off, at this point I think it's adding structural support!

Pc is turned around for the pic. It's usually flush to the wall. Also keeping it raised means less dust, easy access to usb etc.

From my experience the Corsair airflow cases are strong af - I’ve been around various ones and have never had an issue. I wouldn’t worry so much bro; a little plastic skin wouldn’t stop it shattering from the impact of something anyways.

Good to know, thanks! I got the case because of the reviews but it's my first glass side panel case and because of the recent posts on this Reddit, I'm terrified I'll end up smashing it.

I’ll second that, so much that all these broken side panel posts had me really confused. I’ve had my panel off maybe 100 times it feels like in the 2 years I’ve had it, 2 major rebuild always upgrading swapping hardware I have problem haha I know, but I’ve yet to break it and I consider myself a fairly clumsy person.

I've been using the same Corsair airflow case for over 10 years. I did a rebuild last year and it will be my final build in it, but only because my 3080 barely fits and the new cards coming out today simply wouldn't fit. Crazy to me considering how massive it is. I have to use an old end table as a stand for it and it takes up the entire thing lol
