After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.

Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com

Fan Alignment Fix

Misalignment

Now here is one of the reasons its good to check your work as you go. If you notice I put the 92mm grill too close to the edge of the case. The placement wouldn't obstruct any airflow but it did keep the quick release latch from closing.

I had the following choices. I could move the fan, modify the latch, or remove the latch completely and fill the hole. I choose the first.

Below you can see that I just repeated the previous steps and moved the grill about .25" to the left. This gave me enough room to still use the latch without modification.
