Front Door on 1080 AMG

So...

My door broke... got a replacement. Tried to put it on, broke the top plastic nob off of the case. How the heck are you supposed to put these doors on?
 
Mine door broke off too... I think your screwed once that knob breaks off.

Silly me... I installed a DVD drive in the top-most slot and tried to close the front door. Doing this forces the door to break off because of how they built it. GOOD IDEA Antec! No one will ever want to use the top drive slot for a drive!

The little clip that snaps around that knob now has a stress fracture in it so the door falls off most of the time just opening/closing it. I just leave it off now.

Bah!

Actually, I have a drive in the top-most slot and the door closes perfectly. It has to do with putting the mounting brackets on the drive in the right spot. If you take the drive out and mess around with it for a few minutes you'll see what I mean.
 
Chalk me up as another (now former) 1080AMG owner who had the door break off. I am definately NOT a fan of those doors. I'm going to see if I can remove the one off my Super LAN Boy without breaking it.
 
hm i've bashed mine a ton of times with my knees and its survived.

yea i have opticals in top slot too. he installed his wrong definetly.

the top hing seems to have a slit thing that would let u pop a door on and off easier.😛
 
My kids have my old 1080 and THEY haven't had any trouble with the door. I used it for 3 years with and never had problem. I even took it off once and put it back on without any issues.
 
Mine broke off 5 minutes after I got the case. Been using it without it since day one. I forgot it even supposed to have a door. 🙂
