Had a Haf-X since I upgraded to Sandybridge back in Jan, but a couple of things have bothered me about it, so I just wondered if they are issues with all the cases, or if I just have a dodgy one.
First, in the hotswap bays, the screw holes to mount the HDDs don't actually line up right. I can get 2 screws in, but the others don't line up (it's only very slightly off though) - This happens in both bays, whatever HDD I try.
Secondly, I decided to add a second 200mm fan to the top of the case, however when I did, I had to remove the USB3 cables from the front panel, as the connects stick out too far, and hit the fan, and as such the top of the case can't be put back on.
The second issue I'm sure is universal, as it's more likely a design issue, rather than error in manufacture, but what about the drive bays? was there an issue with the calibration of the drill/punch they use for the holes on the day my case was manufactured, or is it a constant problem?
