We do not have a list for the next run because we're not sure how it's going to work yet.

May just be a few units for internal testing, a small run like this last one, or we may even open the orders to the public.

I wanted to make an account and post here to show my support for this product! I'm definitely interested in the Cerberus and I can't wait for it to come to market. I'm encouraged to know that you are thinking about opening orders to the public. Is there a email list that I can get on in order to keep up to date?

Ditto, I'm excited about this build!

I can't wait for this to be released.
Looks great.
Would I be able to combine a ASUS GTX 1080 strix and a full size modular psu without any problems?
If so, would I be able to have a lil window to show of the flashy rgbs on the gpu? :

Yes. I posted some pics a couples pages back of a strix 1080 OC with a full cover EK WB and the WB terminals wouldn't allow the side panel to fully seat but the stock cooler should.

When I will receive my cerberus-x, i will also test Msi gtx 1070 gaming X compatibility. I hope twin frozr vi is compatible. I've already bought some low profile pci-e connectors as they are not offseted on 1070..

Hi, Is there anywhere with updated clearances for GPUs etc? I'm trying to figure out if my GTX 980 Ti (MSI Gaming 6G - 277 x 140 x 40mm) will fit as well as a Nepton 240M cooler either vertical at front or under the GPU. Thanks!

The power connectors aren't something I can say for sure will clear. Measure from the underside of your card tab to the apex of the PCIE power connector cable top return arch, needs to be under ~48mm.

Nepton 100% fits

Timely build post! That's fantastic, if the 980 doesn't fit it might just be an excuse to go to a standard 1080 Ti. Thanks!

Welcome to the forum!

If the 134mm height is accurate, then the 1080 Strix should fit.

Hi, Is there anywhere with updated clearances for GPUs etc?

This is still accurate for GPU clearance:

https://kimeraindustries.com/cerberus/#cerberus-specs

Total number of expansion slots: 5
Maximum PCI device length for all slots: 329mm
Maximum PCI device height for all slots: 130mm at the power plugs; 150mm overall

Any news on the power connectors?

Nice & clean setup..

Stupid question from my side : why not putting 140mm on side bracket to exhaust hot air coming from bottom?

 

[3lfk1ng]

If I am understanding your question correctly, it's because that would conflict with the location of the PSU mounted behind it.

The positive pressure is more than enough, an exhaust fan for this setup will do almost nothing.

Woo hoo! FINALLY!

I'm on the email list and eagerly await a Cerberus production run featuring one of these power cables so that I can have one to call my own.
