One of the first videos I did when I started my channel was a video on my 650D. I wasn't totally pleased with that video so I made a new 650D video yesterday. You can find the

650D video on my channel if you want to see that.

Do you know where I can get a good looking 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapter for a 650d?

Not sure actually, never looked into it. I'll let you know if I find something.

I just got my 650D in the mail and the side window doesn't sit flush against the panel all around. It kind of buckles out on the sides. Does yours do that too, or should I call corsair about it? It kind of bugs me.

Some large res images - compare to yours. Could it be the case have had some hard side-impact during shipping? Could it "snap" in place provided the right pressure give to the middle and sides?

Nah it's not a shipping issue. A better way of explaining it would be to say that the mounting holes for the window are closer together on the panel than they are the window. So it looks like when they installed it they kind of had to force it, so the window bends outward between the screws. 
 It would be a forgiveable flaw on a lower tier case, but on a case I paid $180 for, it has me a little upset.

Ok that explains it much better. Perhaps Andre or others with the 650D would comment on this...

I already sent an RMA request for the side panel by email to Corsair. I'll see what they have to say.
