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

[kageiit]

Wip of current SFF build (missing 9900k still). The stock Seasonic cables are making management very cumbersome. Going to look into ordering custom length ones from ensourced

Pic without the cable mess

Also for anyone wanting to order the cerberus, new orders seem to only come with blue color front panel usb 3.0 header wire which may not go with aesthetics of every build. I was told they have no more black color cables in stock which is a bummer. Im thinking to coat the wire in a layer of plastidip black once the custom cables arrive

Or you can buy a black one, even shorter and change it! I did the same. I need to go back in the thread to check the link than KSliger sent to me...

It would be great if you can send me the link to the black cable. I could not find one which would fit and had the correct length!

For the length, you can choose! BTW, on AliExpress is full of them, as "dual female usb 3.0 19 pin cable" or whatever.

Actually I've ordered few on AliExpress, because I didn't know which MB I was supposed to buy .
Depends from you USB3 header position! I think for me worked the 35cm! But really, dpends!

But that is the new Seasonic SFX? I thought the cables were more like the ATX series. Sleeved all together...

Thanks for sharing your experience.
I wish you luck to receive your 9900k before christmas..

I'm sure this has been brought up. On both Cerberus pages, the last bullet point still states "Designed by Kimera Industries, manufactured in the USA by Sliger". Fortunately after clicking the hyperlink, DNS for kimeraindustries.com points to the same chimera.industries quad records.

Well I finally bit the bullet and ordered my Cerberus X.
Been staring at my almost operational dual E5-2667v2 build for two months now without the time to troubleshoot my booting issue. Even picked up another dual socket motherboard with 16 DIMM slots that I'm going to try cramming into the Cerberus X. 10"x13" seems doable right?
@KSliger I replied on my invoice with a couple small requests, thanks for being so hands on and flexible with the community.

Now I just need the HDPLEX 800W to be a thing so that I can finalize my power situation.

There is a Corsair sf750 unit that's leaked and can be used with hedt builds. No eta however

According to OC3D it is supposed to release in November. Another nice thing is it will have two 8-pin EPS cables for CPU power, which will be nice for Threadripper builds.

Hmm tempting.. I've been finding it pretty difficult to source the SST-SX800-LTI in Australia at a reasonable price, (Can only find it in stock on newegg at an inflated price) if this ends up being released this month, with dual 8 pin EPS to boot, that'd be awesome.

On that note I've now purchased everything excluding the Cerberus and PSU! My wallet feels a hell of a lot lighter now!

Hello all. I’m new here and new to SFF builds in general but they have me interested. I’m currently looking at this case and wondering if it’s possible to fit a Corsair h115 and a evga hybrid 1080ti? The 1080ti has a 120mm AIO cooler on it. Or would I have to get a 120mm AIO CPU cooler to make that work?

In the Cerberus X, 240mm AIO fits very well. With an AIB GPU I couldn't get the H115i to fit mounted on the front. If I had a Founders Edition model it would have fit so I would assume the EVGA hybrid will fit.
