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

[LocoMoto]

I know the X model is taller, but is she wider as well?

It's an illusion from the X-model being closer to the camera. If you compare the bottom parts of the cases you should see less difference due to perspective.

That's what i thought, but I guess I just misjudged the size of X in the picture he posted.

Why are all the panel gaps so huge?

This is will be addressed, panel gap is result of the change to 0.080" aluminum, side panels just need to be cut slightly taller and top panel slightly wider and they will match up flush like the N1 does.

Glad to hear! The red looks amazing!

What is the price for this case now since all the changes. + have the shipping fees gotten reduced.
Also roughly when can "normal" people get a hold on one?

So would I get on the waitlist? Or will they just go on sale once the power cords get in?

I can put you on the waitlist, but it's pretty long at this point so not much chance of getting in on this batch.

Not 100% on pricing yet.

Just waiting on the cables, so that will take at least 2 months.

But we want to do one more short run before general production to verify what is hopefully the last set of minor changes (like the panel gaps) and then we'll have it for regular sale.

Will the pre runs be much more expensive than the regular sale?
Also is there a chance to get all solid panels on pre runs?

I have zero rush with getting this case. Exciting times in the CPU/GPU arena, so theres no rush in getting new hardware.

Too early to really say for sure.

Side panel changed to aluminum? Or aluminum is just option ? I love steel side panel..

 

[jeshikat]

Exterior panels are aluminum. It's been heavily discussed already, but basically the change was made because it's lighter and has a better perception of quality (though of course we're not saying that aluminum actually is objectively better than steel for SFF cases).

 

[Mike]

Ahhh, makes sense.

Thats fine. Still wish I could get a top panel without front USB

No USB could be an option, I was going to make an unvented top panel. (using two solid/unvented side panels for a solid panel all around case)

I have been waiting to hear these words

 

[16bitEra]

Darn, I must have feel asleep for a few months and missed this being put out. So what do I need to do to be apart of the waiting list?

 

[jeshikat]

I'll just add you to it.

 

[Trouffman]

Nice case great design. keep pushing it !

First off, I have a lot of respect for the amount of responses you've posted.

I have a Sea Hawk 1080 X with a 120mm rad/fan. Kinda wanna do sli eventually with this case. Would 2 120mm radiators fit with the closed loop tubing or should I switch to Founders Edition or even the new Zotac 1080 Mini?

I've seen a lot of mixed opinions about sff and reference cards.

 

[MarcParis]

For the sea hawk 1080 compatibility, i'll'be able to answer you when i will receive my cerberus-x (during march), as i will test my gtx 1070 gaming x.

However please note, msi gaming x 1070/ sea hawk will be a tight fit or impossible due to its width (especially sea hawk for fittings)

I'll let you know

 

[VegetableStu]

Actually (assuming SFX mATX Cerberus) can one stack radiator-fan-radiator under the SFX PSU? MSI says the cooler part is 52mm, but I'm not sure if that number includes the fan itself...

Joined the forum just because of this case, what do I need to do to get added to the waitlist?
