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

[NuclearLemons]

do the cases left have the windowed side panel?

 

[MarcParis]

No, all pre production are with standard panel

[NuclearLemons]

how difficult do you think it would it be to install a tempered glass panel on the side?

 

[jeshikat]

It won't be easy since the panels attach with clips. Trying to add clips to a pane of glass probably won't work for various reasons.

Cutting a hole in the stock panel and attaching the glass to that would be more feasible, but removing the panels causing them to flex slightly in the process and I'm not sure how that will work with glass.

The most feasible suggestion I've seen is to drill out the rivets for the clips and swap them with a little insert that has a threaded hole. That way a sheet of glass either directly or as part of a custom panel can be screwed on. That way there's no danger of bending the glass when removing the panel.

Thanks @Josh | NFC for this poetic review..
I'm glad my precious Cerberus-x was used for it..

 

[Phuncz]

As if I didn't want this case bad enough, @Josh | NFC makes a video of the config I want (minus the handle).
Excellent video !

Wow, this thing is so beautiful. It totally suppresses my dislike in building in a case and seeing a tad of extra space where I believe it didn't need to be, and then seeing the same wasted space on my desk afterward...

Now you need to not miss next pre production round..

Sliger was holding out and there are a few more pre-pre-production cases left.

So as of now there are 3 Cerberus (mATX) left, one each in red, white, and black panels. $400 + shipping.

Still got one???

 

[jeshikat]

All the pre-pre-production cases are now sold, big thanks to everyone who bought one!

Now on to pre-production

 

[MarcParis]

Ahah pre-pre production and pre-..

Why not calling pre serial v1 and v2 ...lol

 

[loader963]

Just curious but do you have a list of the differences between the two versions?

 

[raf1546]

[Biowarejak]

I just have to say, that website is gorgeous.

Now on to pre-production

After more thoughts, quality level already achieved in pre-pre production was clearly acceptable to be sold.

At your place, just forgot pre-pre or pre production statement, just speak of batch #.

Let's assume that my Cerberus-x was coming from batch #1, then you are preparing batch #2, etc..

Cerberus vs Cerberus-X: Cerberus-X is ~61mm taller to fit 3 more expansion slots for ATX motherboard support. Basically identical otherwise.

Pre-pre-production vs pre-production: minor fixes, nothing major.

We do not have any cases for sale at the moment.

Well, there are all sorts of little flaws that I notice so I don't think of these as regular production, though maybe most other people wouldn't notice/don't care

 

[PNP]

So close, and yet so far.
