PC just fell off my desk... My heart stopped

Luckily nothing was plugged in, so no connections were broken or anything. I was moving stuff around my desk and my pc normally sits close to the edge, and I accidentally pushed it off... My heart hasn't dropped faster ever before..

 

Is there anything I should check before turning it on? Everything inside the case is in it's place, nothing really looks like it moved and nothing looks damaged. Anything else I should check before trying to turn it on?

THAT POOR THING:'(

 

edit: if nothing is phyiscally broken, you most likely are fine as hard drives and such where not moving. think of the abuse laptops get.

That happened to me before, I have a tall "executive" chair and my PC sits right on the edge of my desk, I turn around in my chair and the chair tips my tower straight down onto the hardwood floor. Luckily no components were damaged, except the case was warped a bit and the side panel didn't want to fit. Luckily it was before I had my custom loop and I since then replaced the case. :P

Well the only thing I see wrong is the right side panel is dented in, since I have a corsair spec 01 and the side panel bulges out, but I was able to push it back out without having too much trouble.

 

I'm going to try and turn it on now, wish me luck.. If it doesn't work, I'm killing myself

So if fell on its side, is it carpet or hardwood/tile floor? Right side panel, must be the side where the motherboard is. Hopefully the steel frame absorbs impact, might want to monitor your HDD for a while. It should still turn on.
