  I'm betting on 350-400$ there are quite a few good high end and custom case options at that price range already. This case also doesn't look very water cooling friendly which is sad for a modern mATX case at this level.

Finally an mATX case using SFX power supplies! Having to use the big ATX power supplies have been annoying me for a while now.

  Are the smaller fans on SFX power supplies louder?
  - jensen123 11y ago
    I currently have 2 computers with SFX power supplies. One is a 300W from Silverstone and the other is a 350W from Be Quiet. Both of these are quiet. I suppose if you need lots of power (like 500-600W), then the smaller fans on the SFX power supplies could be a problem, but I haven't tried that.

Is it just me or is this a complete rip off of the NCase?! https://www.ncases.com/ https://www.ncases.com/

  It's pretty much a mATX alternative to NCASE, I wouldn't call it a rip off though. You could call NCASE a ripoff of fractal Design's Define series, but in the end it's just minimalistic, monolithic black box.

  I can see some similarities between the Cerberus and the NCase. However, the Cerberus supports mATX motherboards but the NCase only mITX boards. There are also some other differences, such as the I/O stuff on the front of the NCase. So, I wouldn't call it a ripoff.

  They're both minimalist which is going to lead to a lot of design convergence.

Why only one 5.25" slot?
- astrodust 11y ago
  Why even one? It's 2016. What's going in there? An Ez-Bake Oven? (http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/41/ezbake.shtml http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/41/ezbake.shtml)

Seems nice, but I was expecting some pictures of the inside, with components installed. It is one thing for them to say it all fits well, it is another to actually see it.

This has the one thing I really want in a case: removable panels. I bought a corsair obsidian 800d for 275$ back in the day. The top panel only has support for up to 3x120mm radiator mounting. I wound up with a 2x140mm radiator that has a super gross zip-tie mounting because I wasn't going to part with the radiator or the case. So now looking for a quality case that has replaceable panels to prevent this from ever happening again. Unfortunately, not looking in the mATX range though.
