LOUQE Ghost S1 Mk III (Ash) Mini-ITX Computer Case

I decided to go with this case in Arctic White for my first PC build. I also got the matching medium top hat for increased airflow out the top.This case is well designed and easy to assemble. Like most people, I chose this one for the clean look. In doing research on this case, I was concerned that the sides would be a slightly different shade of white than the front and back. If I scrutinize it VERY closely in direct sunlight it may be a different shade but I was relieved to discover that it's not nearly enough to be noticeable.I think the build quality could be slightly better. Be mindful that is does scratch fairly easy (it arrived to me without scratches, I just wasn't careful when building it). I was also a bit disappointed to see that the leather tab at the top isn't secured to the top and pops out with anything more than a slight pull. I ended up using some jump rings to loop through the bottom and keep it in place.Overall, it's a good case if not a little pricey.

I ended up buying this case since I saw that it was in stock. I was originally planning on getting the NZXT H1 case, but I'm happy I ended up with this one.This case is probably the easiest ITX case to build in. The design is sleek and elegant. The only issue I have is the price. This is really expensive for what it is, but if you have the extra cash, I would recommend getting this case. With the available top hats from the manufacturer, you'll be set with a future proof case.I did notice my temps were a little warm (75C both CPU and GPU under load), but I will eventually purchase a small top hat to exhaust the hot and force cool air into the system. Other than that, this is a fantastic case!

The layout concept is excellent, being able to bolt everything to the center spine and drop all but two sides make it so much easier to build and work on than other SFF cases with a fixed "box" frame. The modularity/expandability is also great, you can add a lot of extra interior space while keeping the overall footprint quite small.The size is perfect for doing an air-cooled build or a top-mounted 240mm radiator cooler with the large tophat. There's plenty of room on the CPU side for a larger air cooler, or a moderately-sized water pump/reservoir combo block.My only complaint with the design is that you more-or-less have to break down the case to do any cleaning/maintenance, but at least it's fast and easy to break down. The side panels slide into dovetails on the front/back panels, and are held in place by either the fixed tophat or the bottom panel, which means you have to break out a torx screwdriver and disassemble one or the other to remove a side panel. If you don't have a tophat, you can leave the screws off the bottom, and let the magnetically-attached top dust cover (and gravity) hold the panels in, but then you have to be careful not to lift the case by the side panels because they will start to slide out.Fit and finish wise, it looks slick, and feels very premium- the matte aluminum sheds fingerprints much better than a glossy finish, and the radiused corners look great. As others have mentioned is not quite perfect. The color between panels seems extremely consistent, at least on the black (ash) version, but panel fit has a little bit of drift in the spec, which is not good since the tolerances are pretty tight for fitting the panels. All-in-all, the panel fit is probably 95%, and you would never notice except on very close inspection, but in this price range I feel it's warranted to be a bit picky.The top and bottom panels are stamped & powder-coated steel rather than milled aluminum, so they do have a bit of flex to them, and are a bit fragile. I could see them getting bent up if you're not careful handling them.I did not have any issues with the panel threading, it looks like it uses steel inserts, which is good, because there really are not many screws holding it all together.

Beautiful, elegant, high quality and functional. This is probably the most premium small form-factor case which still retains functionality. It has some of the widest ranges of compatibility with GPUs, excellent thermals, and the material is top quality. And it looks amazing!My one piece of advice - get the Limestone (silver) instead of the black. The black is ultra-scratchable and even the tiniest scratches are obvious. The silver doesn’t have this problem.This case is definitely worth the expense.

This will be my first SFF PC build once the rest of my CPU parts arrive. I did my research looking for a premium SFF case and decided on the Ghost S1 MK III over the Formd T1 because the Ghost S1 Artic happened to be in stock. I know many people waited for the Artic white to be released, but I got really lucky and recieved my product pretty quick. Some customers also complained of QC from the recent batches on the Reddit fourms, but after inspecting my case carefully, I did not see or come across any issues yet. Looks and feels like a durable premium case. The case is aesthetically pleasing. However, it is crazy expensive, but worth it to me. If you're in the market for a premium SFF case, I highly recommend this case if you have the budget for it. Also, be sure to check with compatible parts on the Louqe website before deciding to settle with the S1.

I don't usually write reviews so bear with me as this is worth reading.Having spent days researching a computer case that fits my needs, I stumbled upon the Ghost S1 after seeing that Noctua make a NH-L12 Ghost S1 edition. I went ahead and watch and read so many reviews about this perticular case, because let's be honest, at this price nobody want buyer's remorse.One negative point that seemed to come back review after review was the panels had different shade of color between the sides and the front/rear. Well, having received my case today, I can attest that the artic white is uniform everywhere and the panels slide neatly in place. Nice.Included in the box is also an extra top plate with a (rectangular) cutout to use with a top hat. Best guess would be for a AIO top mount radiator if that's your thing.If you want to make the case even better, Meta Customs make a custom bottomplate with a 120mm fan cutout and a RTX3000 spine.With the RTX3000 spine, ZenGhost make a custom PSU bracket w/ 4x 40mm fan extra bracket (CPU).Isrwrx make custom colored feets.Finally, Pslate Customs make custom cables and anti-vandal power switches for the Ghost S1.Wew, hope that help and save you some precious time!

La case è molto bella, facile montare il sistema all'interno. Il cosidetto RAGTAG di Vegan leather non regge niente e si sfila dopo due giorni... l'ho sostituito con il pomolo della figura, molto meglio (si trova qui https://www.amazon.it/dp/B0C57CXS58?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 - dice che il diametro è 3mm, in realtà è un poco meno, e nei fori da 2.5mm della case il pomolo ci passa proprio bene)

Acquistato da lex-informatique, il prodotto aveva il cavo-prolunga ad angolo dell’alimentore difettoso, ho contattato il venditore per avere una sostituzione del cavo e mi prendeva per pazzo dicendomi che non c’è nessun cavo nel case e di non restituirlo. A causa di questo ho rovinato il mio alimentatore da 150€. Quando ho insistito mandando foto mi hanno detto che mi avrebbero ricontattato e non l’hanno mai fatto. Sconsiglio di acquistarlo da questo venditore poca professionalità

Ce tout petit boitier est extrêmement bien fini (en aluminium) et très bien pensé. Il est vraiment très facile d'avoir accès à tous les éléments à l'intérieur du boitier. Le système de colonne vertébrale sur laquelle on vient mettre d'un coté l'alimentation et la carte mère, et de l'autre coté la carte graphique est ingénieux. Malgré sa petite taille, il est possible de mettre une carte graphique de 30 cm à l'intérieur (sur ma photo, c'est une carte graphique au format mini qui a été réutilisée). Le boitier dissipe la chaleur remarquablement bien, car sans aucun ventilateur dans le boitier (à part le ventirad du processeur, le ventilateur de l'alim et le ventilateur de la carte graphique), la température du processeur Ryzen 5600x ne dépasse pas 78°C en pleine charge dans un jeu aussi exigeant que Cyberpunk.Quelques défauts cependant:- les trous pour attacher le disque ssd sont trop petits, c'est pour cela qu'il flotte dans l'air au bout du cable sur ma photo. Il parait que c'est un problème de conception, un peu inadmissible pour un boitier à ce prix!- les vis sont petites et l'outil fourni n'est pas magnétique, ce qui aide pas.- le cable management peut être un peu compliqué surtout si les cables de l'alim sont assez rigides. Des cables souples auraient pu être livrés avec le boitier.- pour le prix, le "tophat" pourrait être livré d'office, et non pas comme un accessoire à acheter, même si on peut s'en passer sans problème étant donné que le boitier dissipe vraiment bien.
