Recently purchased a White H440. Was unlucky enough to receive on of the original variants with the faulty LED in the logo. Contacted support, real nice, been sent replacement, as well as missing motherboard screws.

Anyway, Does anyone have a convexed side panel window? Slight bulge outwards? Just the window, the panel is flat.

Im figuring its a manufacturing defect but the bulge is so even and perfect that Im beginning to wonder if this is by design. I never even noticed it the day I changed my parts over. Was using a ruler tonight to measure if a 970 strix would fit and happened to noticed the ruler refused to be flush against the window.

Seriously, its so perfect Im not even going to bother with an RMA, Im more or less curious now.
 
Solution
a friend just got one and his is actually really bad. i took a mill mallet and tapped the side in after loosening the window from the side panel and re tightened it. looks about flat now.
