I noticed just the other day that my right side panelling is coming loose. Well, rather, I think the top layer of the 3 layers is coming loose. The glue (glue?) isn't sticking too well. Not that the entire top layer is coming off. There's just a part towards the middle that sort of comes out. Considering I've only had this for 2.5 weeks, would you guys say this is something I should just leave alone, or have sent back and replaced?
 
Try locking your front door. i find that if th door is not locked for long periods of hte time door begins to warp out in the middle.

It looks from the picture that that is what is happening. Try locking your case and see if it is still bulging out, and if so, then yes i would say that the glue is coming apart. but from what i have seen on my case it is pretty solid.

Hope that helps!
 
Ah, so that's what the lock was for. Alrighty. But actually spotdog, I was referring to the other problem I had. If ya look in the picture at the side paneling, it's bulging out a bit. Although I do appreciate the tip about the door too =p
 
i have it since i bought it. i also cant open it all the way either (so it hits the side panel). i just lock it when im not using it so the door isnt open
 
I have the bulging front door, but its no prob since its usually open all the way flat against the side, but the side panel seems ok...(gets paranoid) :(
 
yeah man, i have that same problem too...if i push it in on 1 side it locks into place but then i find that another side is popping up...i eventually get it so all the sides of the panel are fine....but then the next day i check its popped back up again :( ill see if that super glue technique works...

humm, that is really strange, i never have had that problem (at least to the best of my knowledge) ill take some pic's later and show you my front panel.
 
lol, mm. Yeah, I don't really think it's too big of a deal. Well, at least not big enough of a deal to pay the shipping to send it back to get replaced. But it's a bit annoying that something I bought new is doing this

yea i had 2 problems with mine, the door, and a slight damage due to shipping.. but its not worth 20 bucks to send back
 
Hmm. Actually, my friend just pointed out a thread that mentions how awesome Antec's customer service is. So I might give them a call and see if they're willing to send me a new side panel. And maybe a fan because my friend stripped one of the screwholes while he was screwing it in place -_-
 
Sweet. They're going to replace my side panel. Can't do anything about the fan though.
 
Okay. I love Antec, cuz their customer service is great. I got my new side panel today. But really, come on, now my OTHER side panel is having the same issue. I just noticed now after being gone for the entire day, that the top of my left side panel is coming loose. Has no one else really come upon this problem? I mean, it's one thing for just one side panel to have done it... but both?

I'm wondering if perhaps it's just my environment. It tends to get pretty cold up here, but I can't imagine how that would affect the glue between layers.
 
if it gets really really cold, the glue itself will shrink a little and become more brittle, causing it to loose adhesion.
 
lol, but what would you consider really cold. It hits about 50s late at night here I think.
 
Antec has great customer service but the P180 sucks ass. I just sold mine after having one too many issues with it. Who puts plastic tabs on a door? Now i'm going to order another LianLi :)
 
haha, yeah I was looking at the Lianlis... but they were a tad too pricy for me. I'll see how bad the p180 ends up i guess.
