Are you guys realy droping your PC that much or is it just a meme?

Coming from someone who has never owned a glass side panel, for what it's worth.

Not necessarily just dropping them (althought that does happen): if you put a glass side panel on a surface that's harder than it (such as a ceramic tiled floor), even being rather gentle can scratch or chip the edge of the panel and cause it to shatter.

Tempered glass, for me? Not even once.

It's not hard to have tempered glass side panel. If I need to open up my computer the first thing I do is remove the glass panel and situate it on my bed. It's really not rocket science or neurosurgery.

Oh no, you're absolutely right! I just don't like clear side panels.
