Sniper 2 Bay Device not fitting case

Sniper 2 Bay Device not fitting case
« on: September 08, 2011, 11:10:43 pm »
Corsair 650D case and other cases may be affected - the OC/USB bay device for the sniper 2 does not seem to fit this case due to having a wide bezel at the front

can anyone else comment on this please?

Yes this is the issue- actually, i think it is a problem with the design of the case and not your product so much.

yes - the sniper 2 bay device does not fit in this case because the case contains plastic strips that make the bay slot more narrow. this fits dvd drives very well, but does not fit with your sniper 2 bay device, and probably some other devices as well.

overall it seems the problem is with this case, not your sniper 2.

many thanks

Tim

Yes I am sure that is the case (no pun intended). You might have to do a bit of customisation to get it to fit snugly. Chainsaw time!!  8)
