[–] Piers@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 child) Edge to edge glass is a bit silly but having a window is nice to be able to see at a glance that fans and such are working normally. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] XEAL@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) I'm not against plexiglas/plastic windows, but real glass, even tempered, for me is a very potential broken panel. And those who have their PC case on the floor can't take much advantage of a transpatent panel to see the fans... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Piers@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) I think real is ok so long as it's got a frame all around it. The single panels of glass seem like madness to me. I do prefer plexiglass personally. I also definitely have my pc on the floor and can see inside it at a glance. (Better than when I was briefly obliged to have it on my desk). It's not stashed under the desk though TBF. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] XEAL@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) How well do those panels resist clumsy owners? I'm the kind of guy who always drops shit LTT style. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Piers@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Afaik they're not likely to shatter to bumps.
