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

I used a Prolimatech 140mm x 15mm fan in there and I also swapped it out because of the noise. The Noctua NF-A12x15 is a much better fit as it doesn't overlap the opening and it doesn't make any noise audible over my other components.
hey umm anyone know what's the exact tape being used for the side panel window? might need to get some elsewhere: had a mishap and lost two of them (torn and balled-up) :c
EDIT: is this it? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0115PRB00/?tag=theminutiae-20

yeah the closest thing I could find is those 3M VHB 5906 spools. couldn't get it to appear on my local online shops, and amazon says it'd take 2-4 weeks to ship(?!) ,_,
I might bite it now ,_, but I'll build it while it ships anyway. the panel will look to be missing two strips (but who keeps track of those in videos anyway o_o)

Nothing to add on @Phuncz comment. I’m using a side bracket exhaust since almost one year (August 2017) on my pre production cerberus-x.
Best fan is a square 140x25mm. I’ve put a noctua nf-a12x15 in order to fit my watercooling hoses...and it’s ok also.

I was planning on modding it like my Evolv Shift which additionally gives it 18mm of extra space after you account for losing the infiniti-vent and the extra 15mm of space between the infini-vent to the front. This gives great airflow for such an airflow restricted case like the Evolv Shift with front airflow side openings only half as big as the Cerberus X's.
I decided to go with the Slate. Just pulled the trigger. Now I'll have a few tops to swap around for different looks
I'll mount the slate top on the green Cerberus and the black top on the slate X.
-hopefully I'll get all the screws this time
I put my order in for a black X, vented/vented with handle and ATX a few days ago.
Going to transfer my existing and ancient mATX i7 4790k build into this case and see about upgrading to threadripper 2 toward the end of the year.
I've never spent even half of what this costs on a case before, really looking forward to it.

Hopefully you will be happy, I have owned several high-end cases, Ncase M1, BeQuiet DarkBase 900 Pro, among some, but the capacity, design, and quality of Cerberus X (and non X) is amazing, I'm super satisfied with my case and Sliger are easy to work with and very helpful. To have the opportunity for a X399 or X299 system in 19,5L case is out of this world.
Yes you can put a slim 120mm fan on top mount (included with handle pack). However, on my setup, my top exhasut fan is a bit useless as 90% of hot air is exhausted by side exhaust fan..
What type of psu and where do you think you will put it? Sfx? Sfx-l? Atx? Front or rear mount?..
After it should also depend on motherboard.
Customed cables are almost mandatory for rear ATX psu.
For sfx / sfx-l, provided cables are short one and are ok to start.

I'm rear mounting with an EVGA g3, so ATX with an Asus rog strix x370-f motherboard.
In that case, customed cable are a must. I'm not sure cable mods is making short enough 24 pins.
@KSliger i gotta minor bug report:
flathead screw interferes with 2.5" disk on the front SFX PSU mount
minor workaround would be to shorten that screw, but I probably would only do that if I'm populating the upper disk slot
