Yeah, I had the same leg/screw issue with my Fractal S24... fortunately it's a 240mm so I just moved it so the screws weren't underneath the legs. But it is unfortunate that the leg screws have almost no space for screw heads.

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

That’s one of the main reason why i keep recommanding 240mm radiator on the bottom of cerberus..Okay, I ran into a small issue with my Ceberus, I had a H110i which is 280mm and technically the matx case fits a two 140mm fans in the bottom, The issue I ran into was the screws are rounded and poke out by 3mm and wasnt able to screw the legs back on, So i ended up buying some #6-32 x 1-1/4" machine screws, and was able to get the legs back on, Is it possible for the leg screws to be a little longer since they are attached to the case???? either way I mounted the H110i! add it to the compatibility list
You could try to put your aio radiator on front panel and put psu on back.

280 wont fit on the Cerberus only the X. I just didn't want to buy a new cooler lol
Quick word of warning: if you're using the ASRock Z170 ITX Gaming (or any other board with the same socket placement), the NH-L9i with the heatpipe tips pointing up (bends pointing down) and the top bracket/handle, then the fit is extremely tight. It does fit, but lining up the heatsink mounting holes is difficult with the board mounted in the case, and mounting the board with the heatsink attached is not really possible.
Useless tip: Prolimatech Ultra Sleek Vortex 140mm x 15mm fits in the handle kit ! I basically didn't want to waste my NH-L12S' slim 120mm fan since I'm planning on using that cooler elsewhere. I guess the bracket could be adapted to fit slim 140mm fans with 120mm mounting holes. But how it is restricting now it's no upgrade over a 120mm fan.

It’s just this prolimatech is difficult to find. At leadt cryorig 140xt is still here..
Hey chemist_slime, that's a crazy build. Could you share how well thermally is the case handling that amount of power? That's a mini microwave.
Too bad
I think it's the bottom row, so 3 but I have the Cerberus not the x so might want to confirm that.
-Slightly off topic: Was wondering if there was any way to just purchase the machined handle?
Earlier, it was suggested to use adhesive standoffs for the missing ones when mounting micro-ATX motherboards in the Cerberus-X

That looks awesome, I hope you'll be releasing this colour soon!
Have you guys looked at a UK Seller?
Also any ETA on the window panels?
Cheers!

Below is the post I was referring to. It contains another link to a store that sells adhesive standoffs:
Cerberus owners rejoice!
We finally have an mATX x399 motherboard
