14.09″ x 6.78″ x 12.57″ (Slinger Cerberus Dimensions)

14.96 x 7.48 x 12.43″ (Rosewill FBM-X2 w/o front grill and mesh mod)

The post Modded FBM-X2 Cerberus Killer? appeared first on StopLagging.com.

Since I’m getting the new Ryzen 3600 with some RGB components I decided that I wanted a acrylic side panel for my FBM-X2 case. What’s the point of RGB if I can’t see it!

I went ahead and followed this video guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2wtQEzVedc&t=5s, which showed me how to do an easy acrylic side panel mod.

Two things the video didn’t mention:

• When drilling the acrylic panel start with a really small drill then progressively size up to the size you need. If you jump straight onto the big drill and drill through the panel it will crack. :[ Happened to me.
• If you buy your acrylic panel at Lowe’s they will cut it for you for free! I got one of the Optix Acrylic sheets. Measure the size you need. Bring your case. Ask them if they could cut it for you. Then try it on your case to see if the cut is good.

I’m pretty satisfied with the results. The FBM-X2 is somewhat bigger than the M3s but has better airflow.

It’s size is comparable to the Slinger Ceberus MicroATX case which costs $249.

14.96″ x 7.48″ x 13.78″ (Rosewill FBM-X2 with front grill)

 

The FBM-X2 is a great Budget MicroATX case for it’s size.

Case without front cover… I plan on cutting out my own mesh and adding magnetic tape under it to make it even smaller.

This is post is more of a note to self, so it probably is more helpful to me than it is to you… If for some reason you want to use your Ubiquiti UniFi AP AC Lite as a router with the Ethernet port as a WAN port and the LAN being wireless only. I wouldn’t recommend this if you have internet speeds faster than 50mbps… (this is just a ball park guesstimate. I have not done benchmarks to confirm this.)

I wrote this for myself to see if I can get fq_codel working over wireless according to “Ending the Anomaly: Achieving Low Latency and Airtime Fairness in WiFi” research paper by Dave Taht and Co. The UniFi AP AC lite is a good candidate because it has wireless chips that utilize the ath10k drivers mentioned. Apparently, it works great using the “ath10k-firmware-qca988x-CT” version of the ath10k firmware.

As for flashing the UniFi with openWrt I followed this guide: https://blog.cavebeat.org/2018/01/install-openwrt-lede-17-01-4-on-ubiquiti-uap-ac-lite/ with two changes

1. I used ap-ac-lite3.4.8.bin as the downgrade firmware.

2. And I used the generic developmental snapshot for the unifi ac lite under ar71xx https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/ar71xx/generic/

3. UAPACLITE <– This is the 01/26/2019 snapshot if you didn’t want to use the latest one from the link in #2. Includes official recovery firmware if needed.

After flashing openWrt on Unifi AP

Bridge mode to UniFi. Ethernet wire from LAN to PC. POE to UniFi.

On PC. Set static IP 192.168.1.X (X can be between 2 to 150 but cannot be 20).

Set subnet mask to 255.255.255.0

Connect to UniFi by typing 192.168.1.1 in browser.

Default login is root///root.

Change password.

Setting up WiFi To configure UniFi Wirelessly

Enable both WiFis.

Connect to WiFi (WiFi adapter on PC must be dynamic IP address). When WiFi works. Disconnect Ethernet wire from LAN to PC.

We will now configure the UniFi via wireless. Go back to 192.168.1.1 and login.

Removing eth0 from LAN network

Under Network > Intefaces > LAN > Physical Settings

Remove eth0 from Interface. There should only be two WiFi radios remaining on LAN… wlan0 and wlan1.

Creating WAN interface as eth0

Under Network > Interfaces… Add new interface…

Name of new interface: WAN

Protocol: DHCP client

Cover the following interface: eth0

Submit…

Go back to Network > Interfaces.

Under “WAN” click edit. Then click on the Firewall Settings tab.

Create / Assign firewall-zone choose WAN

Save & Apply.

Congrats UniFI AP AC Lite is now effectively a wireless router.

Dumb AP Mode

This mode is for when you have a primary router as the DHCP server so you just want to bridge this AP to that router. Source: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/dumbap

Going back to initial openWrt settings

firstboot

reboot

Cons:

Front Ports are 1x USB 3.0 and 1x USB 2.0 instead of both 3.0.

Airflow sucks for heavy gaming as fans get really loud (taking off the tempered glass helps a lot). During normal operation fans are quiet with tempered glass on. Personally got it for the looks not for the performance. Update June 2019: I literally have to use this without the tempered glass side panel so it wouldn’t get to hot when gaming. I would not recommend this case for gaming. For non-gaming purposes it’s a beautiful case.

Edit: Just got an Aigo Halo 120mm Fan for $10 to spice it up

Edit: Just added my new mATX MSI Gaming PRO motherboard with the Ryzen 2600X!

Edit 2: Added pictures of bottom of case as requested by a reader.
