| 1219308 | 2011-07-27 01:30:00 | One is a crappy cheap case. The other one is a Coolermaster with a sliding mother board tray. I think I'lll put one or both of them on Trademe |

| 1219310 | 2011-07-27 03:46:00 | I've repaired a power button before, well actually I cut a rectangular hole around it and glued one in from another case, but it worked. Also repaired the front audio jacks when they permanently disconnected the left channel from the rear jack by solder bridging the switch connections. Then yesterday I dismembered my CM storm scout and retrieved the rest button that had dissappeared inside. The point is, I'm not the most motivated at fixing cases and I've managed 3 times so it can be done. Especially if the case costs over $200 like the scout did. A cheap and nasty fix I've considered in the past is to mount a couple of switches onto a 5.25" blanking panel and install it in a spare bay. Plastic is rather easy to drill, cut etc. |
