Any Corsair 800D owners have some slight alignment issues?

Since my Sandy Bridge "upgrade" project was only a case away from being a completely new system I made the trek to Frys last night & picked up a Corsair 800D. Nice case for sure, but after securing the motherboard I ran into some issues installing my two video cards. The backplates on the cards is maybe 1/8" or 3/16" away from the case at the top. There was enough flex in the back of the case + the cards in the slot to get them to line up, but it was a little disconcerting to have to do that on a case that cost this much. I guess since the cards are locked into the slot it shouldn't be too much of an issue but it's an annoyance.

As a side note this case is massive inside. Coming from a P182 SE it's rather shocking how much space there is.

I had no issues with my 700D but with my 600T, I had some issues aligning the I/O connectors and had to push the mobo quite hard to get to snap into place on the backplate.
