Prototype The world most flexible SFF case? LOUQE Ghost S1

[greyhound]

Hello,
I am considering my first SFF case (main reason being potability in a backpack).
I tried to read some of this thread but is quite long and also there have been many changes over the months.
If someone could help me with this questions would be very nice!

1) are there any Dust filter available? (as I live in a very dusty place)
2) the Hats with USB ports are already available?
3) is there any simple cooling setup involving the top/bottom Hats and extra fans? (I live in a very hot place so it could be nice to have extra cooling, if it's easily removable along with the Hat when I need to travel)

Thanks

1 yes they will available (most likely on release or close to)
2 they will come later but will be one of the first add ons to be released
3 you have to decide if you want to go air cooled or watercooled
-aircooled you can add a couple of fans with a top hat
-watercooled you can add an L top hat+ a 240mm AIO (potentially you can add a second one to cool the gpu with a 240mm rad too)

FYI.
New SFX-L PSU is soon on the market from Seasonic.
It's a bit shorter then most SFX-L (-5mm) so it's only 125x125mm so should fit great in the S1 I think. + it has 10 years warranty.

regular sfx-l fit the case.

Yeah I know. But it doesn't hurt that this is shorter, and it has 10 years warranty compared to 3 years that be-quiet has for example.

Wait, what? I've completely missed this! Seasonic is my long time favorite psu manufacturer, so this is excellent news for me! As long as it isn't a lemon, it'll be my first choice for sure!

From the slack today:

All sold out! We have now compiled all the order data and will try to send out confirmation e-mails this week to everyone with their order specification to catch any mistakes from either side. Many have changed colors, this should be reflected in the send-outs.

Also this one:

I asked about the status of the case by email and received the following response:
We are currently estimating shipment towards the end of July,

The shipment will be done by air. Pictures of the final case will be presented mid July.

Cheers // Patrik

The delays are never ending!!. might be 2019 before I get my case!

On another topic. Corsair SF600 or Silverstone SX-650-G? I used coolermasters pc wattage calculator and it recomends a 550w psu. a 600w psu may be fine for ATX but is it too close for SFX?

Welcome to the world of Kickstarter. You'll get it when you get it, probably sometime this summer but also possibly not of something catastrophic happens (like a hurricane wiping out a pepper crop for another one I backed)

Why would ATX vs SFX matter? The Corsair SF600 is good enough for 95% of use cases in this case

I'm saying would it by better to get the higher rated psu (the Silverstone) over the Corsair, given that my system would draw 500w at peak. A 600w psu with 90% efficiency will deliver 540w at peak? (correct me if i'm wrong). So 650w would be better overall, in terms of noise and heat as its running further away from its peak performance? Just wanted some opinions on the Sliverstone unit, if its worth going for the extra watts overall.

A 600w unit at 90% efficiency will deliver 600 watts (or as needed) to the system but draw 11.111....% more from the wall. So if you need 550w it will deliver 550w and draw 612w from the outlet.

Ahh I see. Thanks. So the Corsair unit it will be. it should be able to handle 500 easily. Thanks

Finally, received mail to double check my order.
Soon!

Was wondering if the new EK 240 AIO they displayed at Computex would fit in a large top hat.
Everything is Enclosed within the unit; fans, pump, cables.
I read somewhere it "should" be released by the end of the summer.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find any dimensions of the AIO online.
Unfortunately, the website says out of stock for every color of the S1.
Unfortunately, 88 pages later of reading, white has been scrapped.

isn't it this one?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014CVMMI0/?tag=theminutiae-20

that one is double the thickness of the other AIO they tested, so I doubt it will fit.

Yeah they just sold out the first batch. I'm waiting for the new graphicscards so I dont have any rush, they come in 2 month or so.
yeah you can see on the webpage what colors they have available

Their, AIO test.

Not this one, your link is for the older version which is discontinued.
And the new version is really all in one, I think it will be fit, cause you can see fans and rad are in the same "block".
Looks pretty awesome!

i think this will only fit if you toss out the tophat and bolt this directly to the top of the case.

The old one is also all in one. And it's Still way yo big. Yes its probably possible if you put it on top of the case without Andy any tophat. Just see the size of the old aio. Should be around the same size. It has the same features. And looks the same.size.

So just compare the size of the old aio with a standard aio.

The problem is that om the Side were the pump is built in it sticks out to long so it wont fit inside the tophat, im 99% Sure it wont fit.
