Ok so I've ordered the 650w Silverstone sfx PSU to go with my Cerberus but I'm having a hell of a time finding an air cooler shorter than 145mm that will sufficiently cool an overclocked 5930k. Really didn't want to use an AIO but I may have to cave. There is no way I'm going to fit even the smallest reservoir with my D5 in there judging from pictures.

That explains it, Home Delivery adds ~$3.50 to ground price and distances over 60 miles from a FedEx hub add an extra amount on that.
Ah that makes sense! So it may have just been a glitch where Ground isn't showing up?!
You could try a Be Quiet Dark Rock TF, 130mm and compatible with 2011. I use one to cool my 8700k and it works extremely well and is very quiet. Bit of a PITA to mount but is very secure.
Yeah it is, very slim. I have a Ncase M1 and since they discontinued the Noctua NH-C14 it is the largest cooler you can fit in the Ncase. Before delidding my 8700k max temps were 87C at 5.0 GHz 1.35v, now after the delid it keeps it at max of 67C. That is max single core temp, averages in the low 60s.
Oh wow, ya I may be upgrading to an 8700k soon, do a lot of renderering and the extra performance should give a boost haha. Just ordered the tf from Amazon. Newegg Canada doesn't carry it. 220w tdp is plenty haha.

FedEx "Ground" by "FedEx Ground" is unfortunately only to businesses, to residential is Ground Home Delivery. Would try using work or a FedEx office as ship to address, will save a few $
Was USPS not an option?
I didn't see any USPS actually! The only options i'm able to see are:
FedEx Home Delivery
FedEx Express Saver
FedEx 2 Day
A little late now mine's on the way, but what would be the rough ballpark for TiN coating? Shiny gold, plus super scratch resistant!

I'll try bending the power cables on the graphics card and see if I can the side panel back on.
The hinge isn't a big deal.
Since PSU #1 was DOA, Corsair was next up in line. Suppose I could've tried Silverstone. I'll keep it in mind for future builds

13. Oh that's sag? It's still there when I have the case lying flat. I thought the graphics card just sits 2mm too low or the back plate of the case is 2mm to close.Nice setup indeed..
Point 9 : i got the same issue with my crosshair vi hero...just didn’t put i/o shield
Point 12 : same gap here. I readjust every time i put it back
Point 13 : same here, some sag on gpu
Point 14 : simple cable management tweak : create a roll on top of psu. Use plastic tie (one used in sf600 box to hold in position cables)
Point 15 : same here. This bracket, despite to be a bit ugly, is damn useful to plug big gpu..
For cable management, with sf600,tip is to bend again and again cables, and they will smoothen themselves..
Also try to concentrate your cables in one area. Between sfx psu and noctua c14s is a good spot..

That is why I bought few of the extensions (one SATA to two SATAs etc.) so I do not have to bend it
By the way, where are you gonna put that 3,5 drive in this setup?
I was thinking maybe just 1x 120 on the bottom and mount the hdd perpendicular to one of the infinite vents so I don't have to buy the bracket. Or I suppose I could just turn the hdd into an archive drive and not even make it part of the system.
Well, even 120 with HDD right next to it will not fit, in my opinion. Even without cables.
I'm not going to lay it flat for a 2x2 array of screws. I was going to put it skinny side to the base since there's 2-3 screws on the drive. That way connections will face the side of the case and I can run power and sata cables along the side of the case.
I recieved my Ceberus to Washington in 3 days, shipping was only $13 which was nice, the case looks amzing in person. Here are pics comparing it with the Nano S
Will you do a specific build inside your cerberus? Or move your nano s setup inside ceeberus?
Hello All,
I just recieved my ceberus X in the Netherlands and its great.
I am wondering of my Kraken X52 will fit with the ATX setup on the hinge part.
the kraken Cpu cooler is around 55mm heigh.
I hope some one can help me with my question?
thanks in advance

The CPU clearance if using a rear mount ATX psu is 48 mm, the X52 water block is too tall (found that out after purchasing it..). BTW, most dimensions and clearances are listed under the "Specifications" section of the product page.
