Only SFX/SFX-L.
Prototype I have I had to stick a wire fan guard on my 25mm thick fan to keep the cables out of it.
I might make the case 10mm taller to make the SFX-L support better, and increase space for radiator hose above PSU.
10 year warranty is nuts! 120mm in SFX-L is my preference, I...
I have not found a single slot 1070 to test with. I was able to run two Quadro P4000 on the bifurcation.
Just barely smaller than 3 slots. Designed exactly for that layout you have imagined, and windows on the side are a yes!
Only concern I have is that maybe the radiator needs to be in...
Yep! The dual slot version will go up to 2.75 slot GPUs like the new EVGA 2080TI and ASUS ROG 2080TI.
Will also fit 2x 120mm radiator which is something Dan I think is dropping support for in his C4.
We revived Cerberus around this time last year and had it launched by Thanksgiving weekend...
Confirming this is not dead.
I have some prototypes right now that fixed all the problems with the first design, added USB C, made a bit bigger for better water cooling/taller CPU pumps, etc.
Planning to make this available in production quantities before Black Friday / Thanksgiving weekend...
Just 2 slots with a bit of space, I have a version drawn up with 3 slots but I want to test 2 slot version first, 3 made it pretty wide - almost size of Kimera Cerberus with way less compatibility.
It has an optional bracket for 3.5" HDD on the bottom fan hole, or if using short GPU/other card...
Change to AIO heights (60mm + some minor gap) and the handle mounting, waiting on models from EKWB or possibly ordering parts to see how the GPU swivles will fit.
Also completely changed the main rib bracket from the above shown, had standoffs for mounting 3.5" HDD etc. but that needs to be its...
Emailed EKWB and asked if they can get me models, not having a reservoir will do wonders for keeping this case compact and hopefully the tubing on the GPU blocks fit into the bifurcated riser area.
Update on this case design to come in next few hours.
Will have a new set of screen shots up hopefully today or tomorrow, did some checking on push pull vs two radiators - two is the better option.
Only concern I have is where to put the pump - do you have a pump you'd recommend for a compact space? I can buy one and model it, but if someone has...
I've been using bifurcation for ~2 years now on my main PC, and trifurcation on a test PC, gotta say it's definitely the future.
Making a case for it, would love feedback from everyone in this thread...
Goals of this case:
1. Look Good
Grained anodized aluminum front panel, no visible hardware.
Powder coated aluminum side panels with 5 optional colors (Black, White, Grey, Red, Beige - same as Kimera Cerberus colors)
2. Stay Cool
Tons of room for cooling, 120x240mm radiators, 120x120mm...
Wouldn't leave that hexagon pattern if it was blind hole. BSO has that standard hexagonal head shape, the hex pattern keeps it from rotating when it's pressed into the metal. They also typically have a groove at the base that the displaced material fills in to keep it from popping out like that.
Definitely should not be able to pop those out like that - that BSO was installed improperly is the only explanation. Is the prototype the only time you've seen this happen?
Here's a picture of a rackmount case aluminum front panel we make with a CH fastener installed in it
Thicker...
Yes, however dip tanks cannot anodize aluminum with steel hardware installed - and installing it in after anodization strips small amounts of the oxide layer so you're still going to get oxidation around the hardware with extended high humidity conditions.
Powder coat is good because it can...
It's true they react with each other, galvanic corrosion - but only if your case is exposed to consistent >80% humidity for ~50,000 hours (like 5-7 years) or are exposed to salt spray. There's zero risk of galvanic action so long as the computer is in a climate controlled environment <80%...
Long reply but kinda three reasons:
1. Cost and minimum quantities
Self clinching I have negligible tooling costs and only ~30-240 seconds of setup time between hardware types. Stud welding needs to amortize a project specific jig, plus setups are easily ~30 minutes or more, scrap parts...
It's an achievable look either with the stud welding or using a concealed head self clinching ball stud. We don't punch through the sheet, instead we CNC mill a blind hole ~3/4 the sheet thickness deep then press the self clinch hardware into that open side. This keeps the hardwareless...
We're using stocked punch tooling for all parts on ours, goal is to be as inexpensive as possible. It also has a 7" flex riser so that the GPU is flipped so it can be a tower or slim profile configuration with good airflow in either position.
We have one but you don't need to use a stud welder...
I can manufacture this for you! I'm based out of the US and design/manufacture computer cases and systems for a living.

We've been drawing up our own design for a layout that'd be similar to this. If you want to shoot me an email...
