Thats very nice. I essentially built this exact same case by mangling an old dell oem case. The biggest difference is I turned the case around so my mobo is inverted, but almost exactly the same size. I used to have a little corsair 110 alo cooler, now Im using the wraith with my 2700x so I moved the psu to the front in a vertical orientation. I love the size though, its perfect for getting the full functionality of an atx board while still being portable and not weighing 2 tons.
Great Wood where did you position your AIO - bottom or side? And what kind of AIO did u use? Also, what is the motherboard that you use? I got Cerberus X case also. I’m planning on X570 Tomahawk with upcoming Ryzen 3 CPU and Liquid Freezer II 280 AIO. Any thoughts on that? Thanks for replying!
Proud SM560 owner. Rocking a RTX 2080FTW3, Ryzen 5 3600, Alpenphon Black Ridge V2 cooler all in a rig that easily fits in a backpack. Sliger is the best!
Nice one Wendel! Been looking to do my next build in one of these. I'm thinking of modding so an ITX mobo is lowered a few pcie brackets and then fitting a GTR 280 in the bottom and the top. Someone did that to the Cerberus (no X) with two slim 240 rads and that looked amazing.
I would almost buy one if I was looking at a quality but fairly expensive case. The tiny but ATX form factor solves a lot of issues for getting the best Mobos stuffed in there.
Hype for a new computer case that's made for builders! Thought it was going to remind me of the riotoro prism ATX at first but after learning about it, Sliger is actually more like if those Dan case and Dr Zaber shoebox ITX's got expanded for the less compact mobo's... Actually now that I actually looked, it should be more like a bigger version of Sliger's own ITX case that you guys reviewed just recently :D
I’m looking into putting a 3970X build into one of these due to needing mobility for the workstation. Would you recommend this case? I’m a CAD Designer so the thought of expensing a CNC machine has crossed my mine and designing a case but the Sliger Cerberus X seems close to what I’d end up designing.
Nice, I watch the @optimum tech video on this and it's big brother tring to figure out a threadripper or 3950x triple or quad Radeon vii build with watercooling.. like 1 time a week. Keep up the great work Mr. Wendell!
very cool. I am trying to decide on color before I pull the trigger. Is this the black or grey? It looks black but its hard to tell how light the slate grey is.
Let's imagine a normal build with all stuff inside, nothing sticking out of the case but for the handle... how portable would it be considered in a "travel by plane once or twice a year" situation? Definitely liking this case because it can accomodate a full atx motherboard but also considering a build mini-itx based with pcie bifurcation in case AMD never releases a worthy APU for the desktop space... (going igpu with intel is also a consideration, but a bit less futureproofable as it is right now)
149mm with a front mounted sfx psu and no side hinge. 147mm with the hinge. 75mm with rear sfx, or 48mm with rear ATX. Really this case is kind of made for AIOs. I'd only go air cooling for better reliability and more room to mount ssd/hdds.
I want this to be true somewhere in the world : " runs CPU benchmarks all winter ever sense I figured out my external radiator can be used to keep my plumbing from freezing".
Run a crypto-miner, make some coins on the side, don't just simply waste electricity. There should be some currency that utilizes CPU for mining. Even without earning enough to pay your bills, you never know what you could use it for, since you are already using your CPU for heating your plumbing.
Welcome to Cerberus-X owner's club...:D I got mine since Q1 2017 (pre production)...and, at the end, I still love this Cerberus-X..:D One of my recent finding is that Cerberus-X is also very good on horizontal stand (very convenient to modify it by the way..;)) You can find my complete build log (still running as this case is so inspiring) there : smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/smallest-atx-case-cerberus-x-complete-build-log.2007/
The SFF community has a lot of really expensive, really nice cases. Partly because it's a smaller community and low-volume manufacturing is expensive, but partly because the community wants good quality products.
My last 3 builds were in 2 2nd hand and 1 brand new microATX cases. I since moved them to some "junk" 2U rack-mounting ATX cases that I got for free from my workplace and stacked them on a LackRack. In the future, I will most likely keep using server cases - I am not sure if I'm going to find free ones anymore, but I'll definitely look for some bargain junks. And I'm using quiet 80mm fans, I can sleep well at night with 3 PCs powered 24/7.
And that's base without about of the options (handle fan mounts, SSD mounts and so on) then the price get even higher $285 to $300. Add shopping and you have to really want that case and be winning to pay through the nose for it. I decided to get a Q500L instead. Almost as compact and cost me $50 during the holidays. I will mod the case to improve air flow. I can get a few other components for my build with the money saved. It's not as nice but will get the job done just as well when I finish my mods.
The factory tooling cost is still the same though. It’s a niche market that’s why ITX cases are expensive. The vendor doesn’t expect to sell as many units as full size ATX cases. So in order to recoup their tooling costs. They have to charge more.
That PSU placement though. I know the build uses AIO, but still. If you really want a small build, don't go ATX, since most went ATX for performance, with mid~tower case for good air flow.
For AIO build that's perfect placement -- there would be wasted space otherwise. If you want to go big air, then you could mount your SFX PSU in front as stated multiple times by Wendell. Pic of front placement: www.sliger.com/includes/products/ki/cerberus_x/CO-PSU-SFXI.jpg
Dude, you post a video about the worlds Compactest case and you keep running your mouth about all the "insert ads here" crap your going to put in it. Get to the point, oh lifes to short. 👎
265-400+ dollars for a small ATX case LOL. At that price I'd just buy that $50 Cooler Master Q500L and cut some ventilation holes in it hahahahaha. Imagine spending that much money on a steel box, and it's not even for a server hahahaha. It's absurd and wasteful.

Sliger also has some of the best customer service around. Had an issue with my SM550, and I got the new part shipped a few days afterwards.
I tried to help crowd-fund this case years ago, got tired of waiting lol
I just finished a 3900x / rtx2080ti with 280mm aio build in the cerebus x case. Fantastic case!
I'm currently trying to build a rig in the Cerberus x do u mind telling me what AIO did you use?
Any chance you have a pic of your setup? This is what I have now and want to downsize to this case! Do you have an ATX psu?

I know its late but, awesome U.S.S Enterprise-D schematic .
I know this a old video but I need a response before I buy this. Why would there be a need for a vented backside panel?
First video I've ever seen on this channel. Sooooo good awesome. Subbed.
Can you fit two 2.5 in ssds on the side of the case with a 280mm radiator right next to it?
I was looking for atx case smaller than fractal meshify c and then this pops up.
External rad holes in the back... this surely takes me back to the Antec 1200 gaming case days 😜😉
Yes Sliger! Glad you finally reviewed the Cerberus X.
Funny you should put this video up, I was just about to post photos of my TR build cerebus X build to the forum

Is this the black or grey? It looks black but its hard to tell how light the slate grey is.
Could you share the temperatures of the CPU and GPU under load?
How many watts? What psu? Thanks for video

I think Susan may've had one two many drinks, fetch the water!
Hey. What is the maximum height of an air cooler for a processor?
149mm with a front mounted sfx psu and no side hinge. 147mm with the hinge. 75mm with rear sfx, or 48mm with rear ATX. Really this case is kind of made for AIOs. I'd only go air cooling for better reliability and more room to mount ssd/hdds.
What display table is that?
How does this compare to the Thermaltake Core G3?
As a southerner, I'm not sure if that intro was a "steel" pun or not. Lol
I want this to be true somewhere in the world :
" runs CPU benchmarks all winter ever sense I figured out my external radiator can be used to keep my plumbing from freezing".
I use my build to basically heat half my house in a Minnesota's winter..well mining bitcoin

@@anonpers0n I may or may not, but even if it wasn't advice for you, someone else might take this advice, so I'm content with my above comment.
Me: It's perfect.
Also me: Oh, $265, perfect is expensive.
yup. Same. and no usb-C :-/
Love it how much is it--- [gasps] nevvvvermind.
I wanted this, $265 is expensive and another $90 for shipping to Australia. I was like "Meh... I will live with what I have".
Beautiful case, too bad shipping to Thailand is a bit salty, unless they have some resellers in South Est Asia...
Sometimes you can get good value ex servers or ex server boards + cpu and good change it will fit this or with a bit of a budge.
I have this case, love it, will probably use for a long time

Looks nice. Would consider it an option if it was about 100 dollars cheaper
Sliger Designs is an OEM/ODM based & made United States PogChamp
I had a 9900k + 2080 ti with a 240gts, 240gtx, and 120gts custom loop in one of these.
Do normal people spend over about 75$ on a case? I'd use a pizza box before spending 250$ on a box to put it in...

See Enterprise-D blueprints on wall in first 30 second = Automatic like to video. :)
That's a nice Case. Solid too..
Hah! Amateur, what's up with cramming a Dual CPU Z11PA-D8 into there? I worked in a Z9PA-D8 into mine and it's been great!

with accesories, this is getting steep.
Yep, it’s not for everyone, or most people even
Build it into an IKEA side table then.
Reused, recyclable. N cool.
Spend $50 on a cooler master Q500L and cut some ventilation holes in it.

Cooler Master Q500L is $50. It has ventilation problems though, so you either need strong static pressure fans or cut some holes in it.
Yes, when it’s made by Uigurs in a prison factory.
That PSU placement though. I know the build uses AIO, but still. If you really want a small build, don't go ATX, since most went ATX for performance, with mid~tower case for good air flow.
? its a sfx psu. I noticed some other builds have full atx PSU though.
For AIO build that's perfect placement -- there would be wasted space otherwise.
If you want to go big air, then you could mount your SFX PSU in front as stated multiple times by Wendell.
