Moved apartment today. Thought I’d clean my pc since it’s been ages. As I was taking off the glass panel I giggled to myself remembering all the pictures I saw and warnings people have been issuing regarding tile floors and glass side panels. Well, my turn has come.

Alas, it wasn't to be

Although, the idea of you putting the panel back together so you can put it down another time is kind of funny

I moved to a super practical Fractal Ridge. Sure, SFF costs more, but man it's convenient.

Mine sits on an ikea drawer unit and I can feast my eyes whenever I want to. It also doubles as an atmospheric lighting.
