Question Broken plastic hook on the Be Quiet! Pure Base 500DX front panel.

[HonkHonkTheTruck]

Hello everyone

It’s a rather dumb question, but I want to be in peace with that. So, to start off, I recently decided to remove my front panel (Pure Base 500DX) to clean the dust filter. During this process, I somehow managed to break one of the little plastic hooks that go in the holes located right under the I/O panel. There was no problem clipping the front panel back, so it might futile to worry about it. But I really question myself about the utility of these hooks, I mean, they must be there for something, even though I really feel like they are useless. I wanted the experience of someone who knows more that me about this case, or someone who already experienced that. Anyway, thanks for reading this silly post and for your answers.

If the front panel is held in place in spite of that one broken clip, then you're fine. You might want to see if you can remove some plastic material from the broken clip area to shoe horn a magnet there to help in attaching the front panel to the case, something akin to this.

There usually are many of them, breaking one isn't the end of the world 😉
