I expect options kits will likely be available separately in the future, bear in mind the order page hasn't been live for 24hrs yet.

I asked KSliger earlier about having the side panel pattern on the front panel for more ventilation .
His reply was "I’ll draw that up as an option this week and we’ll run a few, what color were you thinking?
Might be slightly more, add ~$10 per unit."

Always with the right answer these guys
I'm wondering how useful front ventilation will be though. There is a pretty good open area in the side of the front panel so it depends a lot on the clearance between fans and front.

I believe there is 5mm of space left when using a 15mm fan, I think it will help.
That does sound useful then.
For folks running hot with big rads & multi GPU an option for Fat Front (tm) with a vented deep front that fits over 140x25 fans would be a cool* option
*har har
Pretty open blade design so more flow optimized than static pressure.
So, not ideal. EDIT - at least not on higher density rads, try to pair with a more open design.
70% more pressure at 350rpm less from the 25mm version which has broad blades & stators so is much more of a 'compressor' design.

Hi All - going to set up and do some example builds for pictures this weekend, anything in particular you'd like to see or dimensions you'd like added to specifications? (part of test build is determining clearances)
I have:
140x280mm AIO radiator
120x240mmAIO radiator
2x 120mm AIO radiator
1x EVGA 1070 Hybrid
1x EVGA 1060 Mini
20+ Mini-ITX boards
2x MicroATX board
ATX PSUs
SFX PSUs
1x SFX-L PSU
4x 120x15mm fan
And every imaginable fan size
Also I'll be working on the issues with shipping costs next week, we received ZERO help from USPS while setting this up and DHL does not have a functioning integration for our cart of choice. We'll be on USPS next few weeks to get the cost down to a more affordable flat rate, possibly better US/Canada rate too.
Also will have a lot more case option in next few weeks; machined handle in clear anodize or nickel plate, machined feet in clear anodize or nickel plate, line grained aluminum front panels, full window side panels, and more options for mounting fans in top of case (this is why we did not make the fan handle bracket default with chassis.)
Also hopefully people that get their cases will be able to post build logs, and I'd love to get completed build pictures on our site.

Don’t worry too much of noctua nf a 12x15 performance radiator...especially if you have a low fpi radiator...it will work nicely..
Just avoid high fpi radiator or 2 rows (45mm+ thick)..
After my concern on nf a12x15 is their noise at around 1500rpm

Try a dual 240mm radiator setup in cerberus-x...

2nd that. Love to see how big a custom water loop can go

100% this. Or even better, a 240 and 280 or dual 280.
It would definitely help. And extending the front out 10mm more and adding ventilation would be supreme.
"Full" windowed side panels you say? As in, the entire side panel without a frame, a windowed frame, or the original GPU window? Will the window be glass or plexi?
Can the "window" part be exchanged with another piece? Say for example it's plexiglass; would I be able to pop that out and insert a glass pane? Or even, if the pane is glass, can I replace it if it gets broken or I have some custom laser etched piece I desire to fit?
These new parts can be ordered separately correct? After all that waiting, I jumped at my purchase within a hours of pre launch. I don't want to regret that hahahaha.
Randomly thought to do my sporadic check to see where this is and was surprised it is now released - did I miss an email announcement? In any case shipping to Australia is killing this for me (which I kind of expected to be honest). Hopefully you get a local reseller (*cough* PLE *cough*) and they can bulk import it. Good Luck with the sales / shipping.
Super happy to see this has become a reality, and I wish you the very best of everything in the future. I have lusted after this case since the beginning. Will be ordering the Slate non X version for a kick-ass hackintosh. For some reason I had in my mind that this was going to be available in a dark green color.
I haven't ordered yet, but I absolutely will be getting a Cerberus-X. Just waiting for shipping options to Canada to be finalized, and to see if Demciflex fans will be offered via the site.
Specifically, I've had a positive express with UPS Worldwide Express (Canada) in the past. Due to it being airmail, it actually incurs no charges typically associated with ground shipping.
Thanks again for all the work that's gone into making this a reality.
How UPS/Fedex handles customs and service charges can vary by country and the service you pay for. Unfortunately this knowledge is usually gleaned after being burnt by them and then searching for better information on how they operate.
Here's a good page that explains how they deal with shipments to Canada, and why you never want to use their basic ground service:
https://www.ups.com/ca/en/shipping/zones-and-rates/customs-clearance.page
These fees can be combined with a fuel surcharge on a ground shipment, and as such it quickly becomes clear why UPS Express International (AKA Airmail) is the best choice when absolute speed of an even faster option is not a factor (and it still comes incredibly quickly comparative to government supported and/or owned options).
Unfortunately as Phuncz suggested, how nationally owned or endorsed postal services interact with each other can also vary drastically. I've had excellent experiences between CAN-Germany, CAN-UK, and nearly all of my experiences with US-CAN have been good too.

Actually, never heard of that company - so I doubt that it would even find my small city in the middle of Europe
