I wish there was a case in the design language of the Ghost S1, but built to accommodate an enthusiast gamer's needs while fitting in a single shell without any additional tophats.

Basically, extending the gpu compartment dimension in both length, height and width to fit today's beastly triple fan 2080 Ti monsters.

The current tophat version is around 9L. Adding one slot on GPU means it cna easily reach 10 to 11L, at that point, go NCASE M1

...I have been to China every week for the past months. I have given myself a break for couple weeks. I have decided to go check things in bulk once they are all ready.

May I ask, is this case being manufactured in China?
As I reside in China, it can save a lot of money to avoid having the case shipped to the US (or EU) and then ship back to China. It can save both the shipping cost as well as the 10-25% imposed US tariff. I imagine for those people ordering within China, the cost would be reduced from the planned US$ 150-180 ?

Can you buy the stacker on its own?

Because what I want to do is a custom loop with TWO stackers.

So,
1. Base
2. Stacker + glass
3. Stacker

That's what I want. Is this possible?

Any word on how tariff will be effecting you?
All items will be priced excluding import duty and VAT. i.e. buyer needs to pay duty and VAT required to clear customs of their own country of residence. Whoever claims to price their product with those included has in fact added them into the final price. Labeling the product as "gift" is not a "proper" way to avoid taxes. In fact there is no way round those taxes, AFAIK any attempt will be illegal.

Can you buy the stacker on its own?...
Bundled version will be available for the Kickstarter campaign in the "GIMME NOW" perk option. (delivered immediately after KS campaign from stock)
Base unit and stack unit will be also offered separately in the Kickstarter campaign, but in the "second batch/pre-order" perk option.

So you can buy 1x bundled (1 base + 1 stacker) plus 1 stacker (delivered later)

I am also building a Nouvolo website that will sell them online directly and there will be separate offerings then.

Just signed up. Hopefully I'm not too late.

And if I can get a double stacker, I will transfer the full custom water cooling loop in my Ncase M1 to this.

Signed up! Cannot wait to transplant my current 8700k/1080TI/32GB RAM/NVME build into this and water cool it. I can't believe that you are finally at this stage. It's pretty impressive. I do hope to be one of the testers :)

I will build a total new system next month (i9 9900K, Asus Z390I Gaming, Corsair SF600...etc). But I have already bought a case. If not, I would apply for a tester. $100 is a good price for a test case.

Just signed up for black! I am so looking forward to reviewing this. It will be the “super suit” of the powerhouse battle station for my up-and-coming Zen 2 system which, for now, uses my current Ryzen CPU. Thanks, @macbosco!
