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

[Chann3l]

So o mounted one of my sata SSD behind the psu

That’s air conditioning...
What about dust filters?..

Ya I have to pick some still. As it turns out though, one of my sata ssds fits behind the PSU no problem, but a second will not mount with the 140mm fan in the front because the power connector is slightly on the way. I might ditch the front fan, then switch the CPU fan to take air in and have the one exhaust. Going to have to play with it. Definitely need the bottom filtered though.

Army green anyone?

About to purchase a Cerberus-X, and wanted to confirm- is there anyway to mount 3.5 drives without purchasing the brackets separately? If yes, how many can be mounted?

The specs page mentions mounting points for 2x 2.5" drives on the base chassis.
There is no mention of mounting points for 3.5" drives so I presume you need the optional bracket.
The vent system and hinged side bracket provide a lot of options for mounting locations so the number you can mount mostly depends on what you're packing in and how you're configuring.

No. Outside of using double-sided tape the brackets are needed.

Since this chassis doesn't waste space with cavities dedicated to cable management it will obviously benefit enormously from custom cables of exact length.

Does anyone have favorite vendors for custom cables (or kits) they care to share?

I've noticed CableMod's advertising from time to time but no idea how their pricing & quality rank

If you're methodical about it, you can hide full length cables with ease.

That is nicely done.

How kabuto ii is performing?

About a 40°C delta for the CPU. Noctua NF-F12 fan on standard Silent profile, stock Ryzen 1800X settings.

Thanks a lot!

Honest number. Noctua c14s with dual 140mm seems more powerful...but with my dual ppc fan @2000, sure it was much louder. (More expensive too)

I guess you are waiting for full transparent side panel...

Awesome thanks. I'm wondering if the ncase bottom filter would fit the Cerberus. It has cutouts where the feet are.
