So as the title says... hypothetically, if one was to own a creature such as... oh I don't know, a 7 month old cat... And say you had your desktop set up on a desk which is about 3 foot off the floor. And say that cat decided to use the rig to jump 6 feet into the air onto a nearby wardrobe at 5am this morning, and then couldn't get down so decided to jump back down by aiming for your desktop only to hear it crash to the ground and land upside down in what can only be described as a kamikaze strike.
Hypothetically what sort of damage could this have done? Assuming that the person that this has happened to had inspected the damage and could only visually see a section of plastic chip off the top. And assuming the person had booted it up to check everything was okay and it seemed to boot fine other than the screen flashing black once while logging in which has never happened before but didn't seem too alarming. And assuming they hadn't had chance to open it up and look inside it this morning to make sure everything was in order as they were too god damn tired and had to go to work, what should they look out for when they get home? Is it just the standard procedure like make sure the ram is still seated and nothing has cracked anywhere?
And could they prevent this in the future? I'd assume they would want to continue having the rig on the desk as they wouldn't want it to be on a dusty carpet floor but would there be any other way around it? Locking the hypothetical cat out of the room wouldn't really be an option as he'd soon destroy the carpet outside the door... if this was a real scenario. Would having the rig on the carpet really be that bad? Hypothetically it would make the desk look a lot more spacious.
So yea, what are your guys thoughts and hypothetically how much damage could a 3 foot fall cause to say... a Coolermaster CM690 II Advanced? I'd assume that a normal boot up straight after it would be a good sign if this had really happened.
Please note: This scenario is completely fictional and should not be used against the thread starter as evidence against if he should be granted an RMA or not for any potential damage this hypothetical situation may have caused.
