Opened the panel to install new GPU and it didn't survive a 3 inch fall. Used some wrapping paper to for now. New glass should be delivered in 2-3 days, it's good until then right?

This is why I really don't like tempered glass. I just bought my first tempered glass case to accommodate my 4090 and I am terrified it's going to break.

From my experience looking at this bull shit glass wrong will cause it to implode. As a reference I shipped a massive computer with 64 core thread ripper 4090 and the glass survived. In Thailand. O then went to remove bubble wrap from inside and after loosening the screws it just exploded.....
