Can confirm. Just bought one in preparation of my (hopefully) future Louqe build. The version for sale now even comes with an AM4 mounting kit.
Also: I'm guessing it'll work will with RAM clearance on most boards. The question now is if you can fit two DIMM's and a A12x14 underneath the heatsink and if it'll perform better than the A9x25. Will have to do some testing!

Where exactly did you buy the fan with mounting set? Can you link, please?
Does anyone have the roughest of estimates for when public preorders will open up? Also, will these be delivered before December/Christmas? I am debating between the DAN Case A4-SFX and the Louqe Ghost S1.
Higher Quality wise, it'll be ghost. But that's assuming you have patience. Dan now if you can't wait.
How can you possibly say that when no one has even held one yet? The dan a4 is an incredible case.
Yes there is no way to say that the ghost will be higher quality than the Dan A4. I also don't think it's even possible to be higher quality than the Dan simply because the Dan is made by Lian Li, so it's quality is excellent. They claim this first batch will be here is September, but realistically probably not. The second batch *might* be ready this year... If there is a second batch. But really your guess is as good as anyone's.
I figured as much. About the only thing that the Ghost has that the Dan doesn’t is the 66mm CPU cooler clearance, making it virtually identical to my RVZ02 in cooler compatibility. (The RVZ02’s official specification of 58mm is incorrect. 65mm coolers fit perfectly.) I could easily take my motherboard with its 65mm CPU cooler and drop it in. Quibbles? I detest that they omitted front panel I/O on the Ghost. Ignoring their iTrash Can, even Apple, in all their overinflated arrogance, has, generally speaking, front panel ports.
well caselabs were notoriously made with an higher quality than lian li cases.
theorically the ghost should be superior as unlike the dan that is made out of bended 1.5mm alu the louqe is made out of extruded 3mm alu. on top of that (if made propely) the rail system for the side pannels is superior to the pin thingy used by the dan.
btw a review on a final product is still necessary to evaluate the quality of execution of these cases
the front i/o ports were avoided as most people didn't want them.
there was an optional tophat with i/o being developed but at the moment it has been stalled (they will probably go back to it once the case is released)
Actually, from what I have read, some of it in this very thread, was that Louqe made several decisions independent of the backers. As I understand, this was met with backlash as explained here:

He is right.
But the i/o question was posted in the forums and most people answered that they didn t want any.
Other decisions were made without consulting the backers opinion (or even against backers opinion)
I'm very happy they omitted the ancient and ugly USB-A and headphone ports in the front.
I'm afraid not. I asked Noctua how to purchase one and got the reply: 'I'm afraid we cannot offer the NH-L12 in Switzerland and Norway. eBay and amazon both don't allow us to sell that product in your country. :-('
How hard can it be?
Both are non-EU countries would be my guess.I'm afraid not. I asked Noctua how to purchase one and got the reply: 'I'm afraid we cannot offer the NH-L12 in Switzerland and Norway. eBay and amazon both don't allow us to sell that product in your country. :-('

Amazon.de, sold by Noctua. I'm in Denmark, so Amazon.de is closest to me. I'd reckon that as long as it's sold by Noctua on Amazon, it'll include the AM4 bracket. And if it doesn't, you can order one for free with proof of purchase of an AM4 motherboard and the cooler.

Where are you at? I can order one and mail it to you, if you'd like. It'll be double shipping, though.
