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

[Joe89]

Hello guys,
Newly signed up member here at the forum, also a first timer building in a semi SFX case.
Here are some pictures of my build. Plenty of room for:
Core i5 6600K @ 4.4GHz (cooled with Corsair H60 updated version)
Asus Maximus VIII Gene
Corsair Dominator 4*4GB @ 3000Hz
Asus GTX 1070 Strix

I suppose I could eventually switch to a SFX PSU and make the cable management nicer.

Nice & clean setup..
Don’t you face any issue to screw the 2x140mm on bottom?

Also the last 3 images are not showing..

Thanks!
Putting on the two 140mm fans wasn't a problem at all, just take off the bottom stands first and put them back on after the fans are screwed in.

Those three pictures are the same ones. I first tried inserting links and it didn't work. I ended up directly pasting the pictures.

Ah ok. I didn’t figure it was possible...everyday i’m learning..
Well, i just need to check if it’s possible on my pre production. I know that pre production feet were different..

So, I'm working on a mini-itx version of this case in SketchUp but I am running into some problems. *Note I'm using the SketchUp file Aibohphobia provided on page 1 of this thread.

The first isn't necessarily a problem, rather more a question. Is the metal shroud for the audio inputs supposed to be partially hidden by the I/O opening? I pulled a mini-itx motherboard off of the 3D Warehouse to check for any compatibility issues, and this was one of two things that popped up while working on it.

The second is the alignment of the motherboard holes with the stand-offs. The holes are aligned on the top, but the holes on the bottom are clearly not. This, along with the probable misalignment of the I/O, makes me question if the standoffs are properly placed.

If they aren't correct, then could someone at Kimera provide the final SketchUp version? Would put my mind at rest knowing everything aligning perfectly (thought of throwing away $20 worth of steel while on a budget ... *gets spooked*).

What about now?

I just see nothing..

I was using google photos and it tends to move photos location quickly.
Please could you use imgur?

unfortunately not. that’s giving away the convinence to trade secrets ._.

why not play around in sketchup to correct those mistakes?

Thanks!

Did anyone end up putting together a doc of what radiators/sizes/combos you can use with Cerberus and X ?

 

[Ambushes]

Anyone have any size comparison pictures of the Cerberus vs other popular ITX cases, like the NCase?
