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

Welcome to the forum!
No on the grey, there isn't enough demand and we have to limit the number of colors to keep logistics to a sane level. Yes on the partial window that's in many of the pictures.
Current plan is for all the options on the production cases will also be available for the prototypes.
What about a non powder coated one, Would that be possible, for me to get powder coated myself?
Also (excuse my ignorance if someone has already asked) any estimate on when the prototypes will be available for purchase and will you ship to the UK if they are available for purchase?
Cheers again bud.

We weren't going to offer bare panels before partly because they would rust, but since they're aluminum now that's a possibility.
No ETA yet, but we will ship internationally.
The side panels will be aluminum because of the increased price of steel. The frame is still steel.I've missed some posts... So it will be aluminum?
Steel option was abandoned?
Exterior panels will be aluminum, the rest is still steel. The tariff situation turned out not to be that bad, we had already decided to go with aluminum for the panels for weight savings and the perceived quality.
Grey was something we had considered but there isn't enough demand to justify offering. I was just comparing the original black on the Kickstarter prototype to the new black for the production design in my comment earlier.

Congrats for creating the world's smallest no-compromise PC case!
One question : is it possible to fit three 120mm radiators ( 1x CPU AIO, 2x GTX Gigabyte 1080 Xtreme Gaming Water cooling) in this case? Power supply: front mounted silverstone sx700-lpt.

Thanks! But I'd argue that since two RAM slots and a single GPU isn't really a limitation anymore that the NCASE M1 best takes that title, especially for gamers.
If the radiators for those cards is 25mm thick then maybe they'll both fit on the bottom with slim fans. So then the CPU rad can go on the bracket or maybe on the front under the PSU depending on the rad dimensions.
If the rads for the cards don't fit on the bottom then that won't work, there isn't any room for the 2nd card's rad.
M1 can't play Crysis (3, at 4K 60fps)
What about 1 on the top (near the PSU), 1 above the CPU and 1 at the front ?
Trying to decide which build to proceed with first for the prototype. I'm getting cold feet with the server build since Xpenology was nuked by DSM 6 and FreeNAS was written by deaf sysadmins wizards with IPMI. But at least hardware-wise there is no question about fitment.
That leaves the gaming/general purpose build. The 1080 FTW is just under the 130 mm max recommended height but waterblock terminals add 24 mm of height...making it 153.626 mm tall. Rrgh, I was hoping to avoid reference PCBs...

There's no room at the top for a radiator.
There's a bunch of computer hardware reviewers in London for some kind of Nvidia event. Could be the 1080 Ti.
Just leave the side panel off, problem solved.
Nah, now that you've made the panels aluminum, I was just going to dremmel out a hole.
For either the prototype case or the production models, could steel panels be requested? Honestly, I would much rather pay an increased cost on the case and shipping than have aluminum. So long as it's under $400, it's a done deal for me. I desperately need 100/200 pounds of steel on my desk that isn't easily damaged or pulled/scooted/pawed off said desk haha.
Plus, magnets... I'll call my build the gender bender; it secretly wants to sing folk music.
