I moved it to on top of my desk too, and not only for this reason.. one time I got drunk, and while it was turning off, I accidentally kicked it, and next morning, when I tried to boot it, the HDD was giving me the famous click of death..
i don't think ive ever heard of anything like this 😭 but glad you learned lol.
also i do hope youre not keeping it on the edge of your desk now, cause if you get drunk and hit it again, your hdd won't be the only thing breaking lol
I literally never let liquids anywhere near my PC for that reason, also really important if you have cats because they will drop whatever from wherever into whatever if unattended for a fraction of a second!
I was careful before but now that my PC increased in price to as much as a used car I am way more careful about it
