Back glass panel broke

[Axgk]

Is it fine to leave the back of the motherboard exposed? Are there any dangers?

[Levent]

Its fine, just make sure to get rid all the glass shards for your own sake. I personally didnt run a sidepanel on my previous computer for ages, just dust buildup can be a problem, on the plus side thermals are better.

this most likely won't happen, but I've had some close calls with water 0_0

keep liquids and metals away from that side and you'll be fine.

Check the manuf's website, you can /probably/ get a replacement if you want.  (E-mail support if it isn't listed.)

Ibuypower lol, also theres a lot of moisture in the air here, is that fine?

[tkitch]

humidity isn't a problem.  

IBuypower didn't make the case, and you should be able to find out what model case it was in the original order.

don't whack your motherboard directly with some large object or let something spill onto the side of your PC, I'm sure you can guess what the result would be.

For usability it's completely fine, it just doesn't look great. Just don't hit the components and you'll be good.

You'll have to go back to your original order and look.

Or email them and ask.

Just dont use anything. Unless you eat and drink on top of your case you are fine.
