I recently assembled my own parvum case but the sides (where the two sides meet) aren't aligned 100%. either side is sticking out slightly does this mean I miss-aligned the cube things or is this normal? some parvum owners enlighten me

Can you post some pictures?

How much mis-alignment are we talking about here?

Pictures would be handy.

However this sounds like you have tightened the screws too quickly causing it the frame to sit lower/higher then what is intended. Try loosing the screws a bit to the point that you can shift the frames around slightly and when you have it lined up correctly, tighten the screws again.
 
I dismantled it and going to have another go at it, do you guys know where i can find a detailed assembly guide?
 
The Youtube video is as detailed as you'll get. I was told that they have been meaning to improve the instructions that come with the case, but being an in-demand two-man company they obviously struggle to find the time.
 
Hey guys, i managed to upload a picture. The problem only seems to be with that one side all the rest are aligned fine

What can i do to fix this problem?
 
Sorry a66as, didn't notice you'd responded to this.

Have you sorted this yet?

EDIT: Just checked my case. The panel sticks out slightly in the middle, like yours. But it seems to just be because the screws from my front fans don't go all the way in - so they push the front cover panel out a bit.

After a bit of twiddling It became slightly more aligned, then I thought meh I'll just live with it you can hardly tell anyway. Should have my build finished by tomorrow I'll post some pics in the build log
 
Assembled the case and put all my components in, case looks stunning but my front cover is still misaligned (I'll contact parvum about this) and my switch button isn't working (which may well be my fault)

On my switch the led is lighting up but it won't power the system up, so I have to keep clicking the on button on mobo which would be fine if I didn't have to keep nudging my sound card and use a pen to reach it :p. I soldered the black wire near - and the red wire near +. And on the mobo I put the red/black wire on power / ground. Which one of these did I get wrong
 
Red and black on the inner two prongs, blue and yellow on the outer ones. That's how I've got it.
 
As in, red and black outer, blue and yellow inner? I'm not sure that would make a difference. As long as the inner prongs are connected to the PW switch and the outer to the LED power on your motherboard.
 
Yeah I'm going to try that next :) just need to pop over to asda first and buy a wireless adapter. Thought the gene had 1 built in
 
I got the led switch working, but one last thing concerning me about the case is the back panel (that little panel where you screw on the gfx card) wont properly align and my graphics card wont slot into the Mobo fully, it still works but it is slightly out from one end and it is pretty noticeable.
