But, a few weeks ago I...

    I bought a Montech Air 903 case a few days ago, and when I removed the tempered glass side panel, one of the screw rubber gaskets broke. This probably happened because I mistakenly removed the screws completely instead of just unscrewing them. Is this rubber gasket very important and does it...
