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

[FoskcoRS5]

With the front mounted SFX power supply one wouldn't be able to install dual 120's on the side or front.

Since I have other financial obligation at this time I wont able to get all of the parts to test a slim rad custom loop.

In the interim I plan on picking up an AIO and mounting it to the front with either an ATX PSU out the back or an SFX PSU with an SFX to ATX PSU bracket attacked to the back.

I wouldn't suggest the ASUS GTX 1080 however due to the clearance of the WB terminal.

Your mileage may vary.

This is something that's been bothering me for a while. Most manufacturers don't report the height of their waterblock+terminal. I've found a few threads here and there about individual blocks. Anyone here have a compiled list? I'm hoping to avoid haranguing EK and friends to measure their waterblocks as I plan out this cerberus build.

Very impressed with the versatility of this infinity vent design

Thanks! I quite like them.

 

[m4dcow]

I would like to be added to the list for the next pre-production run please.

 

[bacara1225]

Am i in the list for the next pre production run? If i 'm not in the list, can you add me in that list?

 

[scdudt]

Oops I forgot to ask, what does being added to the waiting list entail? Are you able to make selections of frame type, color, windowed panel, handle, etc... or are you limited to a base model since its pre-production?

EK does list the specs on their site. The normal rectangular FC Terminals add 25mm to the height above the block (which is generally level with the top of the PCB), and then there's this new one which is only 19.3mm tall:

There is no waiting list for the next run since we're not sure how it's going to work yet.

Thank you for the clarification Aibohphobia. If you are able to answer, Should I opt in to the next pre-production run (when it would be available to do so) or should i wait for the production release? I would like to build a system before September 8th to play Destiny 2 with my brother and use Cerberus.

 

[jeshikat]

If you want it sooner and don't mind paying more for a case that could have a few flaws, then sure, get the pre-production.

Otherwise I'd say wait.

 

[scdudt]

Thank you I will wait for the production release then if you think that's best. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to miss out using Cerberus for the Destiny 2 build if I waited for prod release.

I love to hurt myself..

Don't worry, some of us have been waiting since this case was a prototype way back in the mythic year of 2014. You'll be fine.

Wow, time really flies, perhaps Nov... Cerberus is too dream like so you think most of the time waiting has been in a dream state!

Oh crap, moving out of Meth-Addled-Nowhere, Midwest America and changing jobs was all a dream?

Now I don't want to want to wake up.

[cannyvalley]

Can I be added to the list for the next preproduction run?

 

[jeshikat]

We do not have a list for the next run because we're not sure how it's going to work yet.

May just be a few units for internal testing, a small run like this last one, or we may even open the orders to the public.

 

[VegetableStu]

Maybe update page 1 to reflect that the pre-production run of units had all been answered for? o_o

 

[jeshikat]

They haven't, there's still 3 left that I'm going down the waiting list for.

Oh o_o GUYS CHECK YOUR INBOX
