PC Case bent

Go to solution Solved by jaslion,

Just return it to amazon and get a new one.

 

Also where did the glass go?

Hey there! Just got a new PC case (Corsair 5000D Airflow) from Amazon yesterday and realised that it's slightly bent on one of the sides.
Should I try to fix it or just leave it as it is? Any suggestions in how I should fix it?
It only bothers my slight OCD .)

 

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Try putting a small hardwood block either side then screw them tightly together, the clamping force might straighten the metal (avoiding the rolled top edge), or put a hardwood block behind it and use a hefty rubber mallet to flatten it, or return it to Amazon and hope the delivery people don't play football with the next one.

Does it show or annoys when the case is closed ?

Decided to ask for a replacement from Amazon since it just arrived yesterday and I didn't want to risk damaging it even more.

 

I took the glass off to be able to take a proper picture of the damage.

Oh ok surprised the glass didn't break as that is quite an impact dent. Amazon return is the best course of action here.
