I have an Antec Nine Hundred Case ( Product Page ) that I believe to be bent.
I was able to install a motherboard into the case and completely configure and install the computer.
I noticed that the many of the expansion card brackets do not line up flush with the expansion slot openings and the cases screw holes did not precisely line up with the expansion card brackets' screw slits. I was able to secure the expansion cards to the case by squeezing the expansion cards' brackets against the case and then installing and tightening the screws for the cards' brackets.
The main side door also needs to be squeezed to appear to align correctly (once squeezed, screws can be fully installed).
The case does not appear to noticeably by just looking at it. However, I do believe it to be bent because of the misalignment I have mentioned.
I believe that the may be performance problems with the electronic components installed into the case (due to expansion cards being at a slight angle in PCI-Express x16 expansion slots) and computer freezes being observed.
How can the case be straightened correctly?
