October 2020 Update:
  • Now PRIME supports Flex-ATX as well as SFX (SFX-L) PSUs.
  • Added support for GPUs up to 250mm (With Flex-ATX PSU).
  • Added support for additional 2 x 3.5" HDDs instead of GPU (With Flex-ATX PSU).
  • Front USB panel was removed for better appearance and Flex-ATX PSU support.
  • New riser — ADT-Link 175mm.







November 2018 Update:
  • We finished production and starts assembly.
  • We accept pre-orders on December 2018 on our new web.
  • During last year, we made some modifications for easily assembly and better appearance.
We redesigned case mainframe. Now top aluminum part is removable for easily assembling



AC Socket was moved deeper inward the case for better appearance



Laser Marking was added



More precisely milling for Power Button (tolerance 0.05mm)



Grade A aluminum surface finishing and glossy chamfer with diamond tooling (not easily take a good photo of it...)



304SS polished steel feet with black matt silicone



All the parts of the case is custom designed, except AC cord extender, USB3.0 cable and PCI-e riser

End of the Update
Main concept
  • Emphasis on appearance and grade A surface finishing
  • Materials: Full aluminum body
  • Production technologies: Aluminum extrusion and high precision CNC milling
  • No banding, no welding, no punching, no ferrum, no painting, no plastic
  • Designed specially for Mini-ITX components
  • Perfect cooling

Cooling

To maximize air passage, we apply lamella design. This design provides up to 50% more air pass area, than regular holes, and works from bottom to top without "air pockets".

It reminds me some hi-end audio gear, like monoblock amplifiers or Dussun X1600 power supply.

What about maximum GPU dimensions?

Looks good. Are those fins on the front functional? I think I'd prefer they were dropped if not.
Yes. This fins are used to exhaust hot air from inside of chassis, when the power supply is rotated with his fan to inside the case. When the PSU fan rotated to the front panel, this fins fully used for cooling PSU only.

Looks awesome and the price seems reasonable to me.
Any plans for a flat lying desktop case using a ~435mm width like other audio components?^^
This would look awesome aside other equipment in a living room.

looks really promising. any possibility to fit a full length reference gpu (267 mm) ?

edit: looks like it's not possible to fit any 1080 series, even zotac minis. I would have already pre-ordered if it was.

I saw some DAN style cases (I call tower type with two side) they design with about 140mm thick, like Ghost and your case.
They are good looking designs but in my opinion with 140mm thickness you can do a traditional tower case (direct GPU card plug), with almost same components and your have large space for cooling system.

Internal layout is like any other SFF case, but the external aesthetic is just something totally different. My quite my style, but i totally dig how different it is. Can't wait to see this go to production. Looks like a quality case.

I think it went pre-order last yr, but from estimation it didn't quite sell, I was waiting for some review or someone who bought the case.
pre order page was up back then, but sadly they took it down, I emailed them Jan-Feb if they're still selling they just say its under development.

:(
