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

did you order yours with a window panel? there might be a lead time on that
either way try emailing them if you need to. [email protected] if i remember right (check their website for the email address. have your order number ready)

I opt'd not to get the Window panel after a whole day of thinking and asking people since it all it would show is the radiator and fans. Non-windowed looked more professional (if you can call it that).
I will give their website CS email a shot too. Thanks.
I ordered Pearl White, Vented + Vented, Black handle, and ATX PSU Mount if that affects anything.
edit: Received e-mail back that they were having USB 3.0 front header delays.

Generally, black fits all. White goes with basically nothing but the contrast between everything black and the 1 white PC makes it look classy and makes it look like a centerpiece. The grey would have to be very situational for it to not look out of place. That just IMO based on general color consensus. Have not seen it in real life.
Red Cerberus goes faster, though.
Do you guys think some epoxy would secure the little nubs that lock the side panels in place? If I can secure them, I should be able to attach a glass panel instead of acrylic.
Also, do the 3.5 hdd cages come with a way to attach them to the chassis? I have small screws, bigger screw, and the rubber grommets but I don't know how they're supposed to lock it down...

Help. I dont understand how to connect the power and reset. Dont know which is which, or which orientation +/-.
I do have a green X left if want that?
Apologies I need to get this into build guide - the black/red is LED if I recall right.
On the Cerberus page one of the build guides has HDD instructions, or just email I can send it. HDD bracket should mount to vent pattern with 4x M3x6 shiny zinc small screws. 632 truss heads are for the HDDs.
I tried this, too! It's a perfect fit, but pretty noisy for the small amount of air it moves.
I'm thinking of modding the frame actually. should I widen (i.e. cut out) that aperture sideways...?
that would certainly help with the airflow. i wonder if just using a 120mm fan would be better, though.
I ended up just using a noctua nf-b9 on the rear for exhaust. makes a bigger difference than that top fan did, and relatively quiet.

sketched out directly on the frame, and I think I might just leave that be ._. there might be a lot of flex on the parallel bits if i cut out the aperture
(I'll be leaving the markings there too, LOL)
we'll see. if the next system I'm able to fit a 120x25mm fan in it I might forgo that mod completely

I used a Prolimatech 140mm x 15mm fan in there and I also swapped it out because of the noise. The Noctua NF-A12x15 is a much better fit as it doesn't overlap the opening and it doesn't make any noise audible over my other components.
hey umm anyone know what's the exact tape being used for the side panel window? might need to get some elsewhere: had a mishap and lost two of them (torn and balled-up) :c
