Front/Top USB ports don't align with slots in computer case and protrude from surface?

[boomeraang]

Hi folks,

Just bought a brand new computer case (the Fractal Design 3000) and was a bit disappointed to find that the USB ports on the top of the case do not fully align with the slots provided by the case. They aren't straight, and they protrude from the surface itself. Not really fussed, since I assume that it works (I haven't built the computer yet), but it definitely has an effect on the aesthetics of the case.

Is it normal to see USB ports not perfectly aligned with the slots in the case? Should I contact the store to have the case replaced? Would I damage the case and the USB ports if I attempt to push in the protruded bits?

Cheers

Kinda hard to follow you with no pictures. Every case I have had the - USBs line up properly. It sounds a bit odd, and I personally would be cautious to "push in the protruded bits". If it's minor, fine, but if you need to bend something much you run the risk of breaking something and possibly ruining your chance of a replacement.

It is not normal to see usbs not aligned perfectly on the holes of the case. They should be, commonly from a manufacturer like Fractal.
