Prototype The world most flexible SFF case? LOUQE Ghost S1
- Thread starter PaChalski
- Start date
I always thought black was universal for ground. So I have it connected wrong? I have the black in PWR- and Brown in PWR+ and it's working fine ATM
You're actually good. The Power Switch leads aren't polarized, so either configuration works. For simplicity of helping that dude out, I just picked a setup.
ninja edit: I changed my other post to reflect this.
My Ghost arrived yesterday!
Here are some pictures I snapped (not the best quality, there are comments in the imgur gallery)
Internals are here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BBMTq4
I tried to record my build, but halfway through it I ran out of SD storage, so the whole movie is a bit unusable.
And because I thought I would have a recording I didn't snap any pictures during the build
Remarks about the case in bullet points:
Performance and temperatures of the 8086K and Z390 are a-ok in my book. Might not be the ultra fastest rig out there, but considering its size it's more than decent: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/12904674 - this is just default without any overclocking.

Remarks about the case in bullet points:
- Overall quality is very nice, lots of attention to detail and the feel of the finish is just excellent, but there are too many issues to justify the premium price of this case
- Small dents and damages to the anodisation all over the place, on every panel, luckily on zones that are not visible once the case is assembled
- The side-panels are 97% flush, there are some weird bends in it, but judging from other people, this is good enough
- The design of the top-hats is not very well thought through I think. The way the components of a top-hat attach to each other puts pressure on the plats, bending them if you tighten the screws too much. If you don't tighten the screws enough, the top-hat just falls apart, it literally just disintegrates in your hands
- Power button is even iffier compared to the one in the A4-SFX, absolutely no premium feel to it.
- PCB of the power-button also slightly bent.
- You can't stack top-hats, although I don't know if this was ever planned.
- Build overall was very nice, was very fun - although I think the A4-SFX was a nicer build, be it more rewarding because it was 1000% more difficult (with the 545LC AIO)
- The Pump of the Asus ROG Ruyjin 240 is 70mm tall, 4mm too tall, so currently running without the sidepanel. My plan is to design/model some sort of brackets that can hold a custom 3mm or 2mm plexiglass panel in place. Will have these brackets professionally printed and then lasercut a plexiglass panel.

No it shouldn't fit.
It seems that the Reddit post you reference used a 2080 Ventus non-OC, and that the non-OC is actually thinner than the 50mm of the OC version.
I can confirm that the Dan Case A4 has a total thickness of 47mm for the GPU (complete, surface-to-surface, so you need a couple mm of clearance).
How is a slightly wider dan clone with horrendous quality control a fresh breath of anything. Especially considering all the super unique builds that happen on this forum.
you'd be better served by the nf-a12x25 than by doubling up on a12x15s or any other slim fans
I have still not recieved my Ghost - not even a trscking number..
Out of all the reviews and talking about faults I have even had a nightmare about recieving it. It had a big diference in the colors of the top hats and the sand blasted color was full of bumps etc.
If I pay 250€+ for a ITX case and waited this long then it better be damn good. Even full large premium atx cases costs less.
