Antec PLUSVIEW1000AMG Case - Front USB Ports

[Sammy5000]

Alright. I have owned this case for a few months now and love the room inside, the locking front door, side view, etc.

The one and only problem I have had with this enclosure is the front USB/Firewire port. It consistently gets "pushed-in" out of it's normal position, and sits akwardly. That annoyance forces me to open the case up, and place it in it's normal position, so that a few weeks down the road, it gets pushed in again.

It's normal position seems to be a plastic clip holder that the port board just fits in. But when there seems to be any more pressure other than a child putting in a USB device, the ports push in.

Any thoughts on how I can correct this permanently? I mean, I love the case, but this is getting to be a little annoying. I have opened up a techincal case with Antec, but any other input would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Without owning the case or having a link to a god picture, all I can think of is - "superglue". Not in the plug obviously but maybe all around the back of it?

I had to superglue mine in there to keep it from popping out (rather popping "in")...

Mount a metal bracket in place of the plastic clip.
