So,

was building my pc and went to screw in my m.2 drive, screw was on my screwdriver then fell off near the front fans into the case.

i started looking and shaking the case around and for some reason couldn’t hear anything... i turned it on and it worked fine.

today i decided to take literally everything out of the case, i took the motherboard out and gpu out and psu and shook them all a bit and heard nothing, then proceeded to shake the <Mod Edit> out of my case upside down and sideways and right side up with no hardware in and found/heard nothing, did a bit of pressurized air and still cannot find anything... no noise (the case does have holes on the bottom so it’s possible it fell through)

i’m thinking it probably fell on the floor or something after i shook it around a bit but it’s a carpet floor so it’s hard to find...

should i be fine? i put the pc back together and everything seems to be working but i just wanna make sure i won’t short anything in the long run
