I just bought this Tuniq Tower and it got damaged in shipping. Seems like it's pretty torqued up to me but the seller says that it can be bent back into shape. I've tried straightening bent metal before and it never works too well.

Think it's fixable and will still be a good upgrade from my Zalman?

It's leaning to the left:


And has a big dent in the corner:

Its possible just start slowly with the whole leaning to the left, then move onto the fins.

Should take like around an hour, to bend the fins the best thing would probably be some string so you dont leave tool marks

Heatpipes are actually very soft, so light bending could make it straight again.

Don't go overboard though. Heatpipes are quite fragile.
If I were you I'd just leave it as it is since a small lean doesn't mean much

Wow... whose the seller? You should definately try to ask for a replacement, and if all else fails, try to re-bend it.

Looks to me that you are going to have to mount it to bend the heat pipes back. It should bend very easy don't apply much force. Just enough to straighten it. You can use a screwdriver to bend the fins straight.

Use a small screw driver to get under then fins and gently bend the back. It takes patience and time. But for the most part it will work. Happened to my Mushashi. Once you bend them back, they are fine.

I wound up bending the fins back but never did get the lean straightened. I happened to go to Fry's and saw that they had the Dark Knight on sale so I picked one of those up instead.

Anyone want to buy a Tuniq with a gangsta lean?
