Antec 3700bqe: cheap frontal door?

Post by cloneman » Tue Dec 06, 2005 7:54 pm

It appears the the 3700bqe has a poor quality removable frontal bay/door piece. It's made of hard plastic, which appearantly cracks when some pressure is applied. (I had to get it replaced twice at the local computer store because the door broke in shipping).

Quite surprising from an othewise nice chasis. I'm willing to bet the shipper is to blame - but still they really should not have placed the front part of the case upward on in the shipping boxes! That's the weakest part of the case!

Yeah it is plastic which sucks but suprisingly it's been sturdy and I haven't cracked mine. I think I have about 1 1/2 years on it.
