Yup, and I guess I don't have a picture of it but I have a set of blue panels and white handle for Cerberus-00 like I did for Nova-00.
And we put in the order for the power cords yesterday. They'll be taking the literal slow boat from China though so it'll be some time before they show up.

You should take a picture with the three cases together during the production run after you get Unit 02!
Like, "have to fill up the shipping container with other stuff before it can be loaded" slow? Because that can turn 30 days across the Pacific into 2+ months...
Also, if you get the cords before you get pre-production feedback, will you wait for feedback or begin taking orders?
That's the plan! I was tempted to get 9 units in white after the first production unit but I don't know
Not sure yet.
We are going to wait for feedback. The cords may show up before we're ready but we wanted to get the order in before the Chinese New Year.
Welcome to the forum!
No ETA yet.
We're aiming for $250 for the base model.

The optional panel with the small window on the side for the GPU is all we have planned.
The way the frame, panels, and vents are designed make it difficult to add more windows without sacrificing manufacturability or cooling.

How much did SpaceClaim cost you? I just got a quote of $3260 and I'm wondering if you managed to get it a lot lower than that.
I paid $2700 for the base package. It was in December 2015 and they gave me a discount to sweeten the deal to make their sales for the year look better. Buying high-end CAD is much like buying a car, there is room to negotiate.
The import/export packages can add up quickly, so carefully consider if you need any. And also take into account the annual maintenance is around $815.
Overall, I really like SpaceClaim but I would highly recommend getting the free trial and trying it out for a few weeks to make sure it's worth the investment. Autodesk Inventor is available for free for hobbyists I believe and it's powerful too.

Thanks for the info, that helps a lot. Do you use any of the import/export packages yourself?
I do not, the base package has SketchUp and STEP which is what I use the most.
I've considered getting the one that supports SolidWorks import and .x_b export but that's around $600 and I don't need it often enough to justify yet.

Heard this today and immediately thought, "Oh no, Cerberus is a Kimera Industries product that exemplifies efficiency, not a Razer concept that showcases impractical excess."
