Amazing case.... but I seem to have found a flaw - want to know if it's a widespread issue or not.
For whatever reason, the small holes where expansion cards's bracket end is supposed to pass through has a small loop of metal preceding it.
That is, it appears the small rectangular end of an expansion card's bracket is supposed to pass through this small loop AS WELL before it goes into the small hole/slot you'd find on any case.
However the metal loops seem to machined not so well, they're not all uniform and most or all are too small to allow the bracket to fully go through them.
What you're left with is a card that won't sit fully into the mobo slot. The piece of the bracket that's bent over the hole and holds the screw isnt sitting against the case, its a few millimetres off....
I fixed it by inserting a long thin metal rod into the hole and working it around a bit to widen the metal loop.
The bracket was able to pass through it easier, and the part that holds the screw now sits flush against the case BEFORE screwing it in.
Just wondering if anyone else had this problem? It seemed to be causing me lots of issues as the video card was not sitting in the slot enough and I'd get BSODs and such when running graphical apps.
