Installing a Norco SS-500 into an Antec 1200

[krackato]

So I got a C-Clamp and was able to bend all the tabs down in my Antect 1200 case.

 

I replaced the fans in my Norco SS-500's with the Coolink fans that were suggested here.  So far so good.

 

I even got 3 of the Norco's installed and screwed in.  But the last one, the one that goes at the top doesn't seem to line up correctly so that I can actually screw it into the case.

This is really strange because the other ones went in fine.

 

Is there anything I can do?  Should I buy a different case?  I'm not in love with the Antect 1200 anymore, if I could go back, I'd but a case that was easier to work with (if there was a case out there that was easier to work with).

 

Any suggestions are appreciated.  I know I'll get this system working, just have to keep plugging away at it.

Try mounting them all upside down in regard to how they are mounted now... i had the same problem with the SS400.

Use something to lift the last one up a bit (a knife?)  It should be able to "jimmy" into place.

This is what I did and it worked just fine.
