    XSPC H1 Cube not so good

    I got my H1 cube in the mail today and it was pretty easy to put together but then I started running into some problems as I have stated below.

    I can say without a doubt in my mind now that the XSPC H1 Cube is a not worth the price I paid.

    I thought that when I had mounted my 5.25" bay devices that maybe the case was designed with a few MM of clearance at the top of but I soon came to realize that it's just VERY VERY bad machining on the part of XSPC, the extra space on the top 5.25" bay was just the start. When I went to mount my motherboard I found that it was very snug. A few moments later I found out that I could not install any of my PCI-E devices as there was no clearance for the card bracket, literally not even 1mm. There was absolutely no space in between the motherboard and the mounting section.

    This is unfortunately something that cannot be remedied by loosening the screws and trying to adjust the motherboard but a problem with the screw tappings not being precise to where they should be.

    Not to mention that there is no reset button the case. The anodized finish is not the best quality and there Is very little support for the horizontal motherboard tray. The only thing holding it up is a small 3.5" hd rack.

    I have to call XSPC later on today and see what the hell is going on.

    Poor machining, overly expensive for the quality.

    Update: E-mail reply back from Dazhong didn't help much and there was no indication of them sending me a new motherboard tray or a return authorization to FCPU. I was basically told it was user error on my part.
