Ghost S1 Kickstarter launching 29/11/17

Just a heads up for anyone interested, the Ghost S1 from Louqe is going live tonight on Kickstarter @8pm.

This looks like a really nice SFF case that sits in between the Ncase M1 and Dan A4 in terms of size. The most unique feature I feel is the tophats that allows for a greater options for cooling.

Anyway here's the webpage to take a ganders for yourself http://www.louqe.com/

It's going to launch starting from £160 for the case alone.

I snagged two of these, will decide which colour I want when it arrives and bay the other. I've purchased a NH-L12 cooler now as they are EOL, but for now I'll sit back and see what new tech arrives around the time I get my hands on the Ghost.

When you getting yours? I'm looking forward to seeing some more builds in these. Still fancy one for my next rig but currently none in stock and can't see any news around when they might be available again - assuming they will be one day!

The Ghost will live on don't worry. A second run before the end of the year was talked about some time ago, but as this original run has seen delay after delay I'm not sure whether it'll happen this year as I think they will end up focusing on additional parts for the case such as I/O TopHats and windowed side panels before signing off on a second run.

I was disappointed the Artic White version got cancelled, so I'm hoping that they'll find a work around on that colour with a v2 case in the new year.

That's a shame, the white did look good! Although I imagine I'd bottle it and resort to my standard black case! Where's the best place to keep up to date with news on it? Kickstarter, their website, or some other forum perhaps?

Their website is the best place going forward, although they will no doubt update the threads on hardforum.com and smallformfactor.net, there is also talk of a Discord channel at some point in the future.

I've had my case for a few days now and I'm very pleased overall. It does get kind of toasty using the NH-L12 and it's included 92mm fan with a 2600x around low 70's gaming, but I can live with that as I don't really want to use the included Tophat.
