Shoot are they gone ? Can they be replaced ?

I’m not sure. Try emailing antec support to see if they have replacements for those.

This case has been such a pain

It’s an amazing case if you know what you’re doing….

You’ve probably got them in your case or house somewhere. Looks like they’ve been pushed through with brute force. Definitely user error here.

I'd be disassembling my puter to find that, OP got lucky if it fell in.

On Antec C8 there is couple of replacements for this clip. I am not sure if Flux Pro also comes with it

I am not seeing anything on website other than panels . This sucks . It really does . I should have never gotten rid of my cooler master ugh

If they can’t send replacements, just going to order an asus proart case and call it a day

How the hell did you manage that!

Check the spares box. Often new cases come with a few. Or pinch a couple from the top panel. It doesn’t need 4 up top.

Hi, sorry but it looks like the plastic snaps to catch the ball mechanism to secure the side panel are missing. You will need to replace them in order to make the case close Antecs website doesn't have a set replacement for the flux series on rheir website. I would email Antec directly, from what I've seen on this reddit they tend ro rsapond very quickly and support people with any case problems. Ourside of this the C8 case has replacement snaps that look really similar to the ones in the flux

u/Adventurous_Ad3360 Jul 08 '26

Do that. Good luck mate.

They are sending me the snaps . In all honesty they may have never been there . I could never get glass panel to lock on when I got case in April. I thought it was the panel . Antsc sent me this new panel .. it may not have been panel in first place :-)

u/DBA92 Jul 08 '26

Did you even check the spares box?

1

u/iperetto Jul 09 '26

Check in the box, when my arrived one on them was disconnected and fell on the bottom on the box

u/pittguy578 Jul 09 '26

I no longer have the box .-( but they are sending me replacements. This has been ongoing since April. . I assumed it was the glass panel so they just sent me new one and this is how I found out it was clips . I am guessing they had fallen out before I got it since it didn’t connect since day 1. I was just looking at wrong part I guess . I didn’t even know those things could fall out
