![]() There was a big rush to get the case out in time for an arbitrary deadline, and that pissed off the engineering team which identified all of the issues with airflow and fitment, but there wasn't time and crossfunctional empowerment to resolve them before shipping. A higher up wanted a flagship case and decided that it should be a two-system streamer case even though that's not what the market wanted. I've been told that this case was a source of conflict within the company.

If it would be helpful, I'm happy to mail you the whole 7-piece pile (4 pucks, 2 molded bits, one piece of glass). ![]() I bet you could use a flashlight and a measuring tape to get close enough to make a replacement (again - the pucks are just glued on, so you have some wiggle room here). Unfortunately, I'm not looking to repeat the genital pain from before, so I can't take measurements between puck centers on just the plastic bits. Mount the plastic bits in your chassis and trace the puck locations onto that - or just mount the plastic bits alone and take your best guess at the dimensions. If you were to make your own front glass replacement, I would just reuse those pucks but with your own glue. I've definitely had more fun being the butt of jokes in crowds than I had doing this component replacement.Īnyway, on my front panel, 3 out of the 4 pucks weren't attached to the glass initially. It's kind of a pain in the genitals (any gender applicable here - just picture pain wherever yours are) to replace because you have to remove both the top and bottom radiator trays and mounts in order to get access to the screws. The pucks are then attached to two molded pieces by screw, and those molded pieces are attached to the rest of the case by 8 (IIRC) screws. Hopefully they make sense as a full set.īasically, the front panel is a plain piece of glass which has four threaded pucks glued onto it.
