Hey guys, I recently finished this build and realized the PSU shroud is kind of uneven from the left side, like the steel frame is a little lower on the left side compared to the right side. I could ask for a replacement but honestly need the PC working and took me a while to install the AER RGB fans (which are a pain in the ass to cable manage btw) so I'd rather not switch to another case for the time being.

 Anyone suggest a fix to level the PSU cutout like it's shown in the picture?

Is the bracket riveted in place and noticeably bent down, if so you can try to force it back into alignment but it most likely will need a replacement.

They look great, but I live in Argentina and sadly they don't allow much imported products. However I just realized the shroud is bent because they bolted if from the outside at a lower level from the left, so I think I can remove the existing bolt, level it up and bolt it again. Do you think it could work?

Give it a go if it's bolted in, just try to bend it up as you tighten down the fastener to hold the piece in alignment.

The methos i can recommend are priecy ffor the tools and need traning. Just return it..

 

My dad has plenty of tools and expertise. Plus I can't return it cause they're out of stock and I would have to migrate the entire system (which took me 8 hours to assemble due to all the small cables needed for the AER RGB fans and cable management in general) I'll let you know how it goes
