Hello!
 
I am trying to connect the HDMI pass-through cable that comes with the case into my graphics card.  Plugged it in and noticed that the (left) side door cannot close due to the horizontal plastic divider that's between the 2 side door fans.  It is right in line with the ports of the graphics card so when I try to close the door, it hits the HDMI cable that's plugged in.  The GTX 970 card is plugged into the top most slot (closest to the CPU socket).
 
The included HDMI pass-through plugs into the back of a graphics card to enable the HDMI functionality on the lower front of the case, right?  
 
Has anyone else encountered issues with closing the left door due to the fan divider?
 
Thanks!

    that divider should be above all the PCI-E slots and below the mobo I/O. are you sure you are not pinching some wires between that divider and the back wall of the case? that is why there is a notch in that divider for cables going to mobo I/O.

    I am at work right now but I will check as soon as I get home this evening.  I have not noticed the notch you are talking about but it's entirely possible I overlooked it while being tired and rushing to get the build done.
     
    Thank you!
