HI all
I recently had to rebuild my machine due to a bad cpu / Mb (I don't know if one caused the other to blow or what??)

anyway I have a corsair obsidian case which has the plstic see through side and my system is watercooled (cpu & gpu) anyway every now and then I would hear a sound from the case almost like a plastic flexing sound/pop. I never really took much notice of it. but I have completely rebuilt the pc now and I have just heard the noise again and as the previous built blew I am paying a bit more attention now

is it normal for the plastic side to flex at all? im just wondering if that's whats making the noise or something more sinister ?
 
Don't want to say it's normal but it is not uncommon. Plastic expands at different rate tan metal and sometime can be heard as it moves... If that's the sound you are hearing.
