"The Ghost S1 campaign will go live on Kickstarter Nov 25th 2017 21:00 CET."
Are you going to have reviews out from English speaking reviewers (Hardware Cannuks, LTT, Bitwit, Paul's Hardware, etc) before the campaign goes live? Sorry if I missed it, but I've not seen a vid about it from them.
I also am looking forward to the reviews, ideally before the kickstarter campaign kicks off!

@PaChalski, assuming the campaign is successful, are there estimates for when backers in North America might see the case in hand?
Highly appreciate the pacing of the words this time around! Can't wait!
I'm not sure if what I'm thinking is correct, but I believe you're looking for an interactive 3D model?
Video in Swedish, but might be interesting for some of you anyway.
It's a prototype and some things will be changed in the final version.

An XL TopHat would allow this unit to be utilized in the Ghost (without having to stack a S TopHat & a L TopHat)...
Would make for a balance between AIO ease of install / usage & full custom loop water cooling, and no need to try & figure out where the pump(s) & reservoir(s) go...!
Main issue would be getting the hoses (and their QDCs) neatly routed...
Technical specifications:
- Dimensions: 295 x 133 x 68mm (L x W x H)
- Fan type: EK-Vardar EVO 120ER 2200 RPM (+/- 10%)
- Pump type: EK-SPC 60A 12V DC PWM Pump
- Tube length: 250mm

Because of the cut-out in the top of the spin, you might actually be able to fit the unit in with just a L tophat. Just have to put 15mm fans above the rad, and let the pump/res protrude into the spine cut-out...
Would need a test fit to confirm though
But why would I want to replace the quality fans that already come installed on the unit...?
Replacing a pair of fans sounds more realistic than trying to get the Louqe team to produce a forth tophat design for one product SKU*
*that isn't available to retail channels yet, has not really been extensively reviewed, is the hopeful successor to a previously-problematic product, and is quite an expensive proposition to fully configure
I was simply stating that a XL TopHat would (should) fit the 240 MLC unit without having to stack TopHats, but I did also state that stacking a S & L TopHat would (should) also work...
No, a second TopHat purchase (the S TopHat) versus the cost of two fans...
Remember, the L TopHat would be purchased for a 240 AIO regardless...
Hmmm...
Since we're discussing TopHats, I personally believe the Ghost S1 only needs the option of a 28.5mm M-Tophat. One hat for extra fans and drives, two stacked hats for a radiator.
Not that I'm complaining about more options, but a single type like this should be much easier for the LOUQE guys to manage. Well, far too late for any changes anyway.
I'd love to back the KS, but shipping cost kills my enthusiasm. Maybe I'll ask a friend in Stockholm to bring it along when he returns home ...
