Anyone having the aluminum on the side panels actually peeling away from the plastic? I just noticed this on mine. Gonna call Antec and get a replacement.
 
This happens quite a bit. I tried replacing mine and went thru three panels that did the same thing to lesser or greater degrees. I finally gave up and used CRAZY GLUE. It works like a charm. The problem is that Antec glues the panels together. The glue that they use is not applied at enough points along the panel.

I was going to use epoxy on the panel I have now. Do you need to pull the whole aluminum panel off and reglue it?

I didn't, just spot glued it long the edges. The longer the plastic spout on the glue is, the better to glue a bit deeper down the panel.
