CD door swings from wrong side

[Hawaiian2002]

I really like the Antec cases (lots of other brands look alike also) but had one problem. The door for the cd bays swing from the wrong side. If the window is on the left side of the case, shouldn't the door swing from the right side? If the window is on the left side I would put the case on the right side of my desk to view the insides. That's what the window is for right? If the case is on the right side of the desk, why does the door swing from the left side. The dooropens just over 90 degrees which makes it awkward to access the cd drives. The other option is to take the door off, but it doesn't look very good like that. Doesn't everyone have problems with that?

I agree. I have a 1040. At first I had the computer to the right of the chair. It was fine for opening the case, but I had to reach over the door to access the CD drives. Now I have the computer to the left of the chair. It is easy to access the CD drives, but I have to slide the computer to access the case. Since I only open the case every once in a while I figured access to the CD drives was more important.
I am not sure why your door only opens a little over 90 degrees. Mine opens almost a full 180.

In a word... No.

thats four words tbh.

well, if you say
"I have one word for you : shaddup", thats one word, isn't it?

and yes, I noticed that on my chieftech, too, but I don't mind it at all, actually. I dunno. its a full tower sitting on my desk, though. and it opens almost a full 180 for me, too, which might contribute to it.

no it would be 7, but counting is just being anal - which was the actual point being made anyway.

Well, it IS damned inconvenient to have to reach AROUND the open door.

Damned double posts. :|

Then remove the door!
