Chimera Industries Cerberus: The 18L, mATX, USA-made enclosure
- Thread starter PlayfulPhoenix
- Start date
Was upgrading some parts in the Cerberus and noticed this awesome KI logo.
So will newer cases feature this logo as CI ?
If so we will have the OG collectors model.

While I was swapping parts out today, I had a strange idea. Between the motherboard and the front of the chassis there is 83mm of space. The GEEEK custom modular FlexATX PSU is 81.5mm.
On paper I should be able to mount one there with a side mounted radiator. The concern at that point would be hour close the PSU is to the GPU backplate. Has anyone tried this?

Can you mount an ATX psu even when the SFX/SFX-L internal style was purchased? Or would I have to buy a converter?

metal panel window aperture:
91mm width
~282.5mm length
~5mm corner radius
34.6mm away from bottom edge of panel
27mm away from edge of panel lengthwise (centered)
(panel is slightly bowed outwards when unmounted, but take the tolerances to account anyway)
plastic window: ~10mm perimeter offset for mounting to panel. same radius point for corner. said offset is thinner than the rest of the plastic to fill into the window aperture
unless you're comfortable with mounting the PSU by its fan mounts, no.
(also I'm not sure if the infinivent can take the weight of a large ATX PSU)
I ordered the internal psu case. When I switched to my custom loop I ordered the rear panel and just swapped them out.
I understand now. Thanks to you and VegetableStu. I’ve purchased the ATX power supply bracket from the site.

Hello there, I've lost the source for the "tool-less panel pin and clip screws", could somebody please help me?

Just wanted to share a quick update - definitely reached max capacity, but waiting on a few angled adapters before I can finish. Was planning to do a water block on the GPU in the future, but I'm really unsure about the clearance under the PSU. I guess we'll see...
So close, but still so far.

Thanks. I only had time to run a couple benches before I took it apart, which is kind of a bummer.
It's a lot louder than I was hoping for...
Amazing setup!! Can I ask if you can shot a more frontal pics to understand the space occupied for the D5 and Reservoir and the height of your radiator? Is it 280 or 240?
