B Grade Case Arrived C or D Grade :O

I took a chance on a Zalman T6 B - Grade. for £19 inc next day delivery i wouldn't have been surprised if the box was empty.

Case arrived box intact. Case nearly floated away it was so thin. inspection revealed small dent in side panel, clearly a return as someone had fitted a PSU where the paint has worn and some flex in the metal. They didnt get very far though. On close inspection some of the rivets for the motherboard tray have missed there sockets or just aren't there. So at the moment you cant actually fit a motherboard. So I'm off to the garden shortly with a drill and rivet gun

(im not returning it)

At least its fixable. I picked up a £16 BeQuiet case and it was in good condition been used but perfectly well okay.

Well it was a real struggle to fit a full Size ATX motherboard in this case. It meant that i had blocked what little cable management grommets there were. So i had to use the 2.5" drive cable grommets. I was only ever going to put 1 drive in here. but i couldnt have fitted any more than 1, the website says you can put 2x 3.5" drives in here but i have no idea where they go or how they are mountd. anyway i got waht i wanted which was a place to basically store these spare parts inside a case

That looks like it’s been dropped, but glad you fixed it and like it.
