Depending on where you live, we don't have that info yet due to the fact that China is a mess right now
I hope the case becomes available around early April. Where does the case ship from though? Because I live in China and based on previous posts on guessing shipping is from either China or Taiwan which is pretty close. I'm just gonna guess that the further away the more it cost to ship
China and as you know better than we do in the west that it isn't the most economically stable place until the virus clears up.
1. $200
2. Working on it, no ETA yet
3. No, shipping to China will be very cheap, $5 - $10
4. I bought a SilverStone SG05, didn't like it, decided to make my own
5. Side hustle
Do it! Do it! Do it!
Having the option to expand this case with a top hat would be glorious. I LOVE the aesthetics of the T1 and would like to do a full custom loop with normal fans and a bit more wiggle room. I just want a beautiful and silent T1. Have mercy.
Update 2020-02-18 : Radiator Box / Top Hat clarification.
1. I'm working with motherboard brands to make Mini-ITX and Mini-DTX mobos.
2. As part of the co-branding, I designed a T1 variant with a Radiator Box / Top Hat that would allow for 30mm thick 240 radiators.
This Radiator Box / Top Hat might have to be an exclusive to the motherboard brand and their distributors, it also kills the space efficiency of the whole case, so I'm not too hot about it.

Thank you for the clarification! To be clear: I would buy the standard T1 directly from you and then get a special Mini-ITX which is bundled with the tophat?
Personally I'd sacrifice a bit of the space efficiency for the added compatibility. I'm on a NZXT H200 right now so anything smaller than that is already a win ?
now this gonna be more interesting.. i know im being greedy but please add moaaarr modularity element

Let's be greedy together. @Wahaha360 I know this is a side huslte (as is established now ?) but having some sort of modular T1 system in the long run would be awesome. It would give the possibility to have a super SFF T1 but the ability to ad elements for extended compatibility.
Don't feel pressured though! Concentrate on your vision, it'll be awesome!
That would defeat the whole purpose of a SMALL FORM FACTOR case. I know you guys want to maximize the space you have but that in my opinion make the case something different and take away from its essence.
As someone who has a batch 1 ghost and made a list of all the initial customer complaints, most of them were related to the tophat and how it bowed when put together and had fitment issues. I know that @Wahaha360 can do it 100 times better but I am still concerned that this might become a ghost tophat.
I absolutely see your point! And I agree. Something like the tophat should be an additional item down the road and only when it's actually good/viable to do.
Sidearm T1 first, anything else later.
Let's keep our eye on the ball
The Ghost S1 extrusion is flawed by design - the rounded corner and the uneven wall thickness creates anodizing variations. The Top Hat side pieces bowing inwards from CNC machining is also bad design.
I have the TaoBao knock-off Ghost case, these problems are solved already = it can be solved.
That is to say, the Top Hat execution can be done well, but the real point is to stay focused on T1 and for the product features to also stay focused.
Staying focused is the key indeed.

What about if fans are between top cover and rad? 15mm only? Ali shows better thermals in that direction in one of his vids, vs having rad in between top panel and fans in his Ghost.
