I've raised a query with amazon. They said they'll revert in 3days. Checking on youtube, the hinge seems to be flawed and has to be bent into place for the notch to align with the hole.
yea product image and many review videos were such. i'll wait for amazon to revert by 13th oct
Not symmetrical, lower one is smaller on both sides
OK. Post any pic if possible. Is the lower one bent more inwards when compared to the top one?
No, when I checked, it was similar to product image on company website.
Looks like I will have to fix the bend on the lower swivel to align the slots. I haven't been able to find a proper image of the swivel slots of the side panel.
Check a reviewer's footage, like Gamers Nexus. Lancool II Mesh RGB & Performance variants vary in just the pre-installed fans.
Viewed some unboxing videos and got a fair idea of what was wrong. Fixed the bend of the bottom swivel using pliers. Now it alignment is much better. Looks like I got a piece that was already returned by someone. The plastic notch to hold the front panel in place was also broken on top right side and there was no case screws/ties/velcros kit in the case.
If its free, do some "jugaad". It's a great case, if I had to complain, its only con is size, I'm nitpicking though. Due to bigger size, cable management is easier. I put extra mesh filters at front to reduce dust build up.
Glad you got the refund. If the package wasn't sealed than it was definitely a returned unit. Btw from which appario location did it get dispatched from?
Yep. Just have to figure out a jugaad for the front panel. Feviqwik is not strong enough for the flimsy plastic. Can you share link for the extra filters?
Only blue tape across the box. Shipped from B'lore
Jeez! not expected such a quality issue from Lian Li at least.
Nice
I've already sorted out the side panel with a pair of pliers. Now its just the front panel and missing screws. Screws could also most likely be sorted out with leftovers from my previous builds. Getting a 100% working case for 2k sounded like a good deal. Even if the front panel is not replaced, its still in usable form, only caveat being I have to be careful not to break the other notch at top given that its already stressed, you can see the white/greyish stress point in the 3rd pic. This is the only bit left to be fixed. The affected part is actually screwed to the frame rather than being part of the frame but Acro is not selling it separately.
