Hi all,
I don't think I have ever posted in this sub forum. So be gentle
Looking to do a build around Aug/Sept time and go full Team Red. First time ever. Currently deciding on a case.
In short, the Louqe Ghost S1 is absolutely perfect for what I would want. Small, compact, high quality and subtle. Most people would think its a NAS until a closer glance...apart from the price. With a top hat kit you're talking about €370 which frankly is just too much for a case.
So I am looking at alternatives. So far what has caught my eye the most is a Fractal Design Nano S. With this I could even put the machine under water if I saw fit. The build quality looks good. It's not as small as I would like (but it does allow for full WC so, trade off) But I like the plain and simple design from an external point of view. The price is also great at currently €75 - being 3 years old, maybe its due to be replaced sometime soon but hey, I am not worried about this.
Before I go ahead and buy, can anyone else recommend anything else for me to check out? WC is not essential. My top wants are
- High Build Quality
- Subtle exterior looks.
- Window is not necessary. If I go for the Nano S I am even tempted to go without a windowed panel.
- SFF/ITX size
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you
Jake
