Got my 450D - shipping in the UK at last !

Well after at least a month of they will be in on Wednesday -- no Friday- may be next week .. -- they have finally arrived in the UK.

Mosley pleased with it, but when you fit a H100i cooler at the top, the protruding screws for the radiator stop the magnetic dust filter from fitting.
At the back of the case the position of the screws is so close to the magnetic strip at the edge that the crews stop the magnetic strip from making contact with the case and result in the back of the filter sticking up.
Think the only solution is going to be to cut the magnetic strip on the filter so it goes around the screw heads over them.
But then have to say from the construction of the case it was designed to take a radiator -- so the inability to fit one of there own H100i coolers without needing to mod the case to make it look ok is a bit of an oversight.
Even where the screws do not get in the way of the magnetic strip at the edge of the filter, the supplied screws push up the filter.

May be able to find some low profile pan head M4 screws -- well hope they are metric not checked --

Any one found a solution to this ?

First time I've heard this. Do you mind posting some photos? I'm pretty sure I can picture the issue based on your description, but it'd still be best to have a visual representation just to be sure. I just want to see how far the filter is from the top panel.

Hi,
Just taken a couple of pictures - seems I cannot post them here so have uploaded them to flicker and have given links below.

Will see if I can get some better pictures of the inside of the case with the H100i mounted.
