Yea they "said" it shattered so I just told them to throw it away and got off the phone quick before they had a chance to try and charge me for breaking my tank!
Oh well, I have read some posts that the newer models tend to have tempered glass on all panels. So I am scanning Craigslist for an older one in good condition. I also heard that you can test to see if they are tempered by wearing polarized glasses, not sure if its true but its sounds plausible.
I will continue posting to this thread once I find one.
