Chimera Industries Cerberus: The 18L, mATX, USA-made enclosure
- Thread starter PlayfulPhoenix
- Start date
Welcome!
While it's good for us that no one else has come out with anything similar yet, I also find it worrying that apparently no one else thinks that mATX is worth investing in

"With great case comes great motherboard lineup."
Or so I wishfully think.
What worries me more is how the industry is making mITX their next mATX with 40L cases. Instead of doing more with mATX, they seem to have decided to take the "small" out of Small Form Factor.

This is also a worrying trend for me as well, as not even motherboard manufactures seem to be talking about mATX anymore, and that doesn't seem to be improving with time either. Part of me thinks getting the ATX variant of Cerberus would be a wiser move just for the vast hardware selection alone. ATX w/ Steel - Still smaller than most ATX cases on the market w/ the clean aesthetics and a handle. Since I don't plan to carry this thing around, the "smallness" of it matters less to me than other aspects.

Perfect for those interested in expandable AIOs for the Cerberus!

For now we will not offer custom colors since color change requires cleaning out the powdercoating guns and setting up the booth so it complicates manufacturing and logistics. We're considering offering bare panels to compensate though. Not sure on the frame.
That Predator 140...
I guess really the only way to install it is to use the side bracket with the pump/res combo to the right of the radiator and fill port facing up. Adding a GPU block to the first PCIe slot would get messy though, very little space for tubing.

We'll have information on pre-ordering later and we don't have a set date yet. If you don't keep up regularly with this thread then the best way to get notified would be the newsletter: http://www.kimeraindustries.com/subscribe
Signed up just to comment. I've subscribed on your website and will be ordering two of these when they are up for pre-order. Always been a big fan of SFF since the very beginning and couldn't be more excited on how things have progressed in the last 10 years. Especially the last 3 I'd say! Keep up the good work and I can't wait to get my hands on Cerebreus. Will be slapping in two Titan Xs for machine learning!

You mean how thick of a rad on the side bracket or something else?
Sorry, I should have clarified.
Yes, on the side bracket.
As in 30mm rad + 2 x 25mm fans.
