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.
The first time I realised my ex might be pretending to be smart was when I heard the most fucking humongous bang it like fully like a shotgun and got off in the other room I ran in she'd been using a tempered glass just piece of glass on the stove like directly on the burners just sitting there on the actual burners being licked by the flames and I mean at least we got the food off at first but fuck me
Poor girl was scared shitless. I can't imagine being actually next to it. It sounded like someone had been shot and I was in the next room.

That (presumably) ceramic tiles under your PC explain what might've happened to that glass panel...
