This is perfect, thanks!

Also, totally unrelated but - is there any ETA on the full window side panels? I don't need one for this build, but am very interested in something like that for the Cerberus-X for my personal machine.

Late March, 3M is out of the specific chemistry of the permanent adhesive we need until 3/14

Windows Update (preorders go live 3/1/18 at 12pm PST)




Windows and wood are looking awesome! I can't wait for the next series of GPU's to come out to build in one of these.

Edit: Also, out of curiosity, has anyone performed temperature tests on front mounted radiators with and without the front panel installed?

Just a quick tip. People have issues with the screws a bit it seems.

You can buy medication ziplock style baggies that are about 2x2½ in. In the pharmacy section at Walmart. They even come with an area to write on the front of them.

you can order them with a selection of wacky, eye-catching designs printed on them, too! you know, to identify different batches of screws.

Finished with my first - and hopefully not last - build in a Cerberus!

Excellent case; super smooth build process. There were a few hurdles and annoyances (biggest one being the PSU install; needed to install and remove the bracket several times to get the extension oriented correctly), but nothing unexpected, and remarkably painless compared to other SFF cases I've built in.

EDIT: Oh nooooooooooo just noticed that USB port on the rear I/O...

Did you cut those cable tie-downs yourself?

Anyone submits a Cerberus + Pet picture gets automatic status on the product page.

If your picture is on there and want credit please PM me! (I saved them over time and forgot who posted.)

Also if anyone has a size comparison picture, would love to put those up.

Tie-downs? Are you referring to the zip ties, or the frame holes through which I'm attaching them?

I installed the ties, yeah - but I didn't cut or modify the frame in any way. At least, not for this machine...
Well then, that's interesting. My case doesn't have any of the holes in the frame. Not a huge deal, but curious. Most curious indeed.
