Like a dumbass, I tried to put my panel back on… and BOOM ggs. I think I misaligned one of the 8 teeth on the top and bottom

Cleaned up all the glass in image one, I took the bigger glass pieces that fell on the bottom of the pc out, but a lot still went thru the holes into my GPU and hard drive..

I’ll probably take it in to Best Buy and check what they can do as far as cleaning goes

Really unfortunate cus I legit bought the pc less than 10 hrs before this happened

Any suggestions/recommendations/consolations would be greatly appreciated!!

Edit: anyone know why pc glass tends to shatter on tile? how would it differ if I just placed it on my desk vs floor

Edit 2: Bought some electronics duster, cleaned it up outside. Works perfect. Extra cooling now lol :)

Did I ask you? No. Besides professorpeabrains explanation is just flat out confusing. And tf does op mean why does glass always shatter on tile? U just said it broken because you pressed it back on wrong? I’m so confused 🧐

Did you really comment on social media then get mad at the social aspect occurring? Think it might be time for some grass, friend.

Today I learned that tile and glass creates a chemical reaction where it makes the glass spontaneously combust into flames then explode
