    You can really mount them wherever it fits. The infinite vents vre really flexible.

    Chimera Industries Cerberus: The 18L, mATX, USA-made enclosure

    Slowly building in my Cerberus case. This is going to be a list of notes for people to reference. No particular order. Demifilters ncase sizes. These are a struggle. They don't match the cerberus well. If you are going 140mm don't use the ncase ones. Build quality is exceptional though. Dark...

    Chimera Industries Cerberus: The 18L, mATX, USA-made enclosure

    Well I'm thinking I might be able to rotate the case 90 degrees so the cables come out the bottom with a few right angle adapters and spot weld mounts to the case. Think it might work better for open air gpu. Top to Front - buttons on front with USB Ports Front to top - Probably the piece that...

    Quick question as a new Cerberus owner (will have hands on it this weekend). How are the feet (chromed) attached to the case?

    SFF Case Advice

    Just going to follow this up. I couldn't find out anything about the SM550 prototypes as it looks really interesting. I ended up going with the Cerberus MATX Case primarily due to the graphics card and layout options (and availability). Placed my order tonight. (White with Black top.) I...

    Maybe should have made motherboard size checkboxes instead of radio. I have multiple (2)ATX (1)MATX and (1)mITX (NAS) builds.

    SFF Case Advice

    @tinyitx I checked the Dan Case A4 and the only issue I see is the fulfillment time was for July 27/28th with about a 2 week shipping window. That would probably be cutting it too close. I'd also probably have to swap out the 8700k to an 8700 for cooling. @jtd871 I'll reach out to @KSliger...

    Would you laugh at me if I think I could use a gpu backplate & bracket I have to mount my video card with a PCI-E riser to the side rail mounting system of the NCASE M1 for a vertical mounted graphics card? Then put a 240 AIO in the bottom with air blowing up? For this amount though I would...

    SFF Case Advice

    @Beardedswede The Ghost S1 looked good but looks like it is sold out or preorders aren't available on their website. I looked at quite a few videos for it and its also a good form factor but doesn't seem to be available. I would like an NCASE M1, but I don't think a MSI 1080 TI Armor is...

    SFF Case Advice

    I took a look at their sizing dimensions for video cards: http://zaber.com.pl/sentry/ The 1080 TI Armor is 143mm wide. I would have to have a 2mm wide PCI-E power connector in order to get it to work according to their maximum size sheet. (The armors are just wide cards) 1080 TI Armor info

    SFF Case Advice

    That is a beautiful case and would be perfect for my use case, but the mid-august timeline hurts that. I'd have to have it in my hands no later than August 10th before I fly out. I would if I could, but I already have a MSI 1080 TI Armor from my current build that I want to move into the SFF...
