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

[Syr]

When the cases ship, will the tracking be delivered by email?

I was wondering since the window side panels were slated to ship today. I had also talked to a rep previously on the support email and opted to get my case w/ a b-grade side panel early though i never got any communications after that, but then I saw that the side panels were coming earlier than expected so I figured it wasn't shipped early after all.

Hi everybody,

Been lurking for a while now, posted a few questions but mainly I've been waiting to post once I started my build. Currently in the cable management stage and will be posting a better build log in the coming days with more details, but wanted to show a quick shot of my build with my custom loop. Pretty pleased with how everything turned out. I would consider this pic a glamour shot since there are no cables.

Nice setup..
I bet you will use hdplex psu..

At last, you can also replace your noctua fan on radiator by something lese better in noise/cooling ratio. Dark side gentle typhoon or Ek vardar evo are obvious choice..

Hey. I was wondering. Out of curiosity - have you ever shipped to Poland before, or am I the first to have Cerberus in my country?

 

[MunneY]

Okay,

Im finally back and scrapping the idea I had for a monster PC.

I cant decide what I want to do with this build. I'm already on X299 so I can either do this case and or the Ncase I already have in my possession. I'm leaning more towards this so I can have ample radiator support vs the Ncase.


Also, you guys know you're server is over bandwidth at sliger right ?

You're first!

I did not notice, have a support ticket in - hopefully back up early tomorrow.

Sorry for potato quality pictures.

Why wait.. build two. That's my plan.

I want to get a gun metal Cerberus X for my day-to-day box to replace my itx 1700. This mATX build is only for Plex, VMs and few dockers.

I have a build being planned for a Lian-Li PC-O6SX... perhaps I should Threadripper that one and save my Cerberus-X for TR2?

I have been away too long from this thred and cant belive its finally on sail.
Congrats!!!
And i love the extra parts(mainly the wood top panels)
Im not sure if anyone said it, but woudnt be better to offer the wood panel with the perforation like the metal one?If we put it as is, exausting air looks to be reduced quite a bit.

 

[Phuncz]

I have my Cerberus X setup in the way it exhausts air on top with a slim 120mm fan. I'm not sure how I'd go about it if it wasn't possible, perhaps exhaust out the front ?

Apart from the possible wood panel perforation, I loud like to suggest two more accessories. If people like the idea/make it better as its a quick 3d sketch,i hope Aiboh can make a poll to see how many people will want this for the matx and atx case.

Here it goes.(please forgive potato render)

Make a simple 17/20/23mm max extrusion to a aditional left side panel(obviously add the vents and all).Just a simple extrusion and than people can add up to 165mm tall coolers and free all the fan slots from AIO if needed.

You can see that the extrusion is centered so you can modify a existing panel without to have problems with the existing attachment.I loud definitely buy such a accessory.


The other thing is kind of stupid and i was having doubts about posting it so please dont laugh too much
Right side panel that can hold a full atx psu and some space for a nice rats nest of cables.You can use the existing holes on the motherboard tray,or dril one more at home and take out as much cable as you need and leave the rest inside the panel compartment.

(But i hope silverstone makes a revision to that crap 800w sfx-l psu so that we can do things like we were supose to.)

What’s wrong with the SS 800? I liked the SS 700 model.

Mine died just after 5 days of non stop work. just hade the pc render and nothing more.I though this was a 24/7 sertified psu.I just returned it to the store and got a refund.Find a review,aparently they didnt use the premium stuff inside and it is much closer to the lian li 750.And only one cpu power cable?This thing was clearly developed with 2015/16 in mind.

Saw some reviews on amazon and new egg and im not the only one after a few days of work.

I have built in my Cerberus case but cannot get the LED in the power button to illuminate, is there some trick to it? I have checked the wiring and it appears to be a solid connection.

Well, my sx800 lti is working like a charm since 8-9 months.
After failure happens, even to best brand.

I remember of my expensive seasonic that burst out after less than one week...it happens...what matters is after sales management..

Here is my build its a Maximus Gene 6700k delid with a 1070 and an Predator X34.

Cant seem to fix the second picture? my bad.

Just a heads-up the https://kimeraindustries.com/ site is currently down (looks like something has gone wrong with the DNS records).

 

[Adunk]

@KSliger Any update on the wood top panels? I can't wait to see what they'll look like in person!

Apologies, while migrating the domain name the name servers were not correctly updated. This is fixed, so the URL should work normally now!

I gotta say EATX motherboard + any length of ATX PSU in 19.5 liters is pretty amazing, that's smaller than most Mini-ITX cases. There's something about the contrast of using the largest consumer components and SFF that is very appealing. This will be an excellent gateway case to SFF for people with normal systems.

We have something worked out with our supplier for them but they may be a limited availability item, may be discontinued when stock sells.

What's your motherboard? Needs to be 3.3v

I've been running the wood panel, raises temperature in my PC by 2 degrees C vs perforated top. I have both sides nonvented however, so vented one or both sides may offset temp rise.
