Prototype Introducing the Chimera CX2

[karaju]

Really looking forward to this case.
I am looking for a small ATX case and was about to order the Cerberus X before noticing the CX2.

This one looks like it will have a lot better airflow than the Cerberus.

Patiently awaits June update ?.

Just picked up an ATX motherboard for the first time in at least 5 years in anticipation for this case with an NH-D15. Hoping for better thermals and noise compared to the ghost s1 and ncase.

Optimum CX2

Wouldn't it be better to have the I/O at the bottom like with the M1? I feel like 90% of people will put this on their desk. Would be much better to have your headphone cable come out the bottom.

That D15 inside make me cry from happiness!!

it's from his video from a few months ago

Please Please I can't wait any longer

Will there be an option to lay the case down on its side? I assume all I would have to do is attach feet to a different panel, but I'm just curious if this has been thought of at all.

Looks great. Connect the PSU wires... I want to see some cable management.

 

[VegetableStu]

the video mentions (at 6:53) that some SFX PSUs may come with a 24-pin and EPS cable that may not be able to reach from the bottom (which is why there weren't any shots of cables), and earlier in the thread (if i remember right) the creators mentioned that they're working to address this (and the other fitment points brought up in the video)

you should really check the video out (above)

I watched the video when it came out. You expect me to remember everything I watch? ? ?

With the PSU on the bottom I could see that being an issue. But with the PSU at the top front, it seems like it may work.

PSU at top front would limit air flow you’d be better off buying the Cerberus X.

Is this still targeted for a September release?

 

[rayuma]

I hope so! I've got an x570 Tomahawk waiting for it.

 

[nemesis429]

I reckon a good optional idea would be a top panel to allow two fans on top e.g. if you wanted to have dual rads with PSU at bottom.

it's covered earlier in the thread, they mentioned strictly adhering to a closed-off top to ensure optimal front-to-back airflow (unless something changed between may to now?)

My mistake, just thought as an option maybe purchase directly from him if possible.
