My new Antec Dark Fleet DF-85 was functioning properly the first few days, then suddenly one of the top fans somehow got displaced by a few millimeters and now scrapes against the inner wall. Of course I have disconnected it for the time being.

Is there any way I can realign it, either horizontally or vertically, to clear it from any obstructions?
 
has this happened to any other DF-85 users im buying this case in a few weeks when pay day comes? apologies on not being able to help
 
Don't let this discourage you. It's a quality case and my issue was random and quite possibly my own fault (moving it about during hardware installation).
 
well that's good. People keep recommending the HAF-X however i prefer the looks of the DF-85 but i seem to be one of the only people that likes it.
 
Yea mine did the same i just loosed the screws on the fan and it's ok. If like me you rested anything (headphones) on the top fan grill then that can cause the issue.
I gotta say that this case is sweet. It's a little loud but i like the noise so that worked out well for me.
