Although care has been taken to prevent sharp edges in your Antec case, we strongly recommend taking your time and the appropriate care when working with it. Hurried or careless motion and use of excessive force, particularly when you are working in areas you cannot see clearly, are but a few examples of activity that should be avoided. Please use reasonable precaution.
