6. Sealing Gaps
Once the enclosure is completely put together, it is time to make sure that each of the
panels is held tightly to each adjoining panel. The connectors are designed with a
small amount of play that allows you to make small adjustments for the perfect fit.
1. Loosen screws on the panel to move.
2. Push that panel into place. You may need a friend to hold it tightly in the right spot.
3. Re-tighten the screws to hold the panel. Only tighten enough to hold the pieces
snuggly.
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN!
These parts are sturdy, but they’re still all
made out of plastic.
Repeat the process, going around the enclosure looking to make sure all of the panels
are flush to each other.
Once the gaps are sealed, you can then position
the enclosure. The biggest thing with the power
supply is to get the vent in the right place. If you
are using the silver power supply there isn’t much
tolerance in the placement of the o
ff
/on switch
and power cable plug, so you’ll have to get it
close. This will make it easier to turn o
ff
and on
and provide the best seal so that heat won’t
escape.

If you have a black PSU refer to the section on
the Right Panel assembly.
