My Cerberus-X will be delivered next week!
I can do a comparison photo with the Compact Splash and NFC S4M-C if anyone is interested.

Hello, been wanting to get a wood top panel for my Cerberus X ever since the prototypes were first teased. I read in this thread's announcement post that the panels are mounted via the handle kit, which are to be included with the panels. However, I've noticed on the website that the panels are sold without them. As I did not order a handle hit with my original Cerberus X purchase, would I still need to buy a handle kit as well in order to mount the wood panel?

It can be "rested" on top the chassis if you do not have the handle, it will stay in position as it has grooves along edges to sit in between the panels and weight keeps it flat. Handle isn't required, but screw holes will show.
That's most recent revision. Changed the chassis screws to rivets, the press in hardware ties to these slotted cutouts, and removed the blank cutouts behind the SSDs. Revision changes are tracked on the bottom of the Specifications tab. No changes have been or will be made that affect component mounting in any way, everything is compatible regardless of revision.
Definitely will be getting one of these in the next couple of months, anymore revisions coming up?
Thanks again!
Thanks again!
No we have everything really optimized at this point. Now we're on to reviews and marketing once KI is fully transitioned to Joshua.
Steve of Gamer's Nexus? He does tear through obvious practical flaws (CM H500P, Bitfenix Enso), but I like that he's extremely honest
Kylewit and Jayz2c and Paul's and LTT, definitely
First out-of-the-gate question would probably be that dollar tag, which I feel it's something I could probably justify for myself but hard to justify to others in-person... (then again it's the same-ish ballpark with the early-gen crew that did the DAN A4 and the DZ Sentry and NCase M1 and NFC S4)

Your cat is bigger than the case! Amazing.

Pretty cat, but the important question is does he like to game?
Do you plan on making the motherboard standoffs removable?
I had to dremel away one of my standoffs since the motherboard I used did not have all the holes an ATX board normally has.
Just curious, super happy with the case ^^
What board is that? Which standoff?
No plans for removable standoffs, stoaked you're happy, post your build when you can!
Not really, it’s just a place where it’s warm and peaceful...perfect for having a nap..
It is the Gigabyte X399 Designare EX, missing the middle hole in the top row, there is a heatsink where it should be.
I used a dremel to remove the standoff in the case to make sure it did not make contact with the PCB.
I would have loved seeing the MB standoffs being screwed in with a supplied tool or head for screwdriver, so that I did not have to dremel it : P
Other than that I'm happy as can be!
