Nemesis Elite - Hard drive bay is kinda small

[Dekar]

I just setup my new nemesis elite yesterday, after hours and hours of screwing around XD It looks awesome. Though I do believe the user's manual could easely be doubled ^^;

Small problem for me though. I got an Ultra X-Connect power supply which has rounded power cables(and they ain't that thick) and rounded IDE cables, and I have to press HARD to be able to close the case. The power cables and rounded cables would stick out about 5-10mm otherwise. I just hope my side window wont just pop out. That normal?

Post a picture and one of us will help determine whats happening here. This is a new issue ive not seen before regarding the Nemesis case.

I wont be bale to post pictures until friday. Its as I said, when i connect the power cable and IDE cables I just have trouble putting the side pannel back and have to press quite a bit.

Oh ok, I forgot the fact that the drive cage is turned in the Nemesis. Its possible that you may not have your drives mounted all the way into the drive cage. Check and make sure there is some room left to slide the drives back further allowing more room for the cabeling.

hello Dekar,

The fit may be a bit tight but everything should be fine.

It is very tight indeed, I have to press the pannel kinda hard to make sure it fits and almost rip the power cords off the connector to bbend them ^^;

LOL, Dek. I have the same setup, so trust me, I know exactly what you're going through. After my build, I remember thinking "there's noooo way this is going to work."

Well, it did work. One thing to ease your mind: these X-connect cables are pretty beefy, and it also seems as if they can almost self-adjust to tight/awkward fits.

So, no worries. You can press the side panel up against the cable all you want and not worry about anything going wrong. I'm coming up on almost one month with the same setup, and everything is perfectly fine (EXCEPT FOR MY SIDE PANEL, WHICH STILL HAS 3 CRACKS IN IT, MR. NZ DOOD *wink* *wink*) :p
