Hey guys, I am currently in the market for my next build which will be in a small form factor. I have already pre-ordered the Louqe Ghost S1. I also like the Dan A4 but really want to go with all high end components and water cool. I was browsing online and found what looks to be a DanA4 Lookalike but where they have added about 3L of room on the top to accommodate at 240mm rad for water cooling.

Anyone know much about this case? Link below - make sure you click on description/specifications tab to get all the good photos.

Seems okej, without checking the details. I would just be very uncomfortable buying a no brand case for 200$ plus shipment and tax. It just be hard to figure out build quality. See review of it and so on. Quality of the pci-extension.

Lacking info about CPU xooler clearance.
I don't like how it screwed together with thumbscrews it seems. The same with the side panels. Hard to see if it gonna feel good.


That said ! Overall I do like the look of it. That heavy duty milled look like those keyboards in similar style.

So I will keep my eye on it. :)

But yeah the ghost S1 seems to be a lot safer choice . Then I Will know exactly what I get. And it will look real good and you can see what components fit and so on.

Sorry I didn't really help you out.

There are actually a few more cases like this, but currently I don't think anyone is buying.

I'd be willing to be a guinnie pig for one of these. @sfxbajan Which other cases are out there similar to this one? Is there a list anywhere of all the knockoffs like this?

Bacially a Dan case copy in a bit bigger size.
Less refined. But if you like brushed metal .. I guess you like that one.

never buy from yoycart. it's a terrible company who acts as a taobao agent but with way worse customer service, a big markup, and no returns. you can always find what they advertise on taobao by searching the seller's name on google. here's the taobao listing for that case: https://www.taobao.com/list/item-amp/561230680982.htm

i highly recommend using superbuy.

The same superbuy site listed above, search for a4 itx. Some prices are "warm" and others still "hot" though.

Search also x1 there. Taobao has basically a lot of aluminum iTx case that are patterned with the famous iTx case here. Most of it are tweaked to make it smaller or bigger depending on the need.

Beautiful case :)
I was literally just looking at this very one :)
I would have bought it except I want something that is sff, itx and allows 2 240mm rads.... I think I am asking too much :p
If you have the money, you should ask sunmilo to do a custom version of one of his cases for you.

Or... design your own ;)

The chassis in the link the OP provided states aluminum construction, but looking at the pictures, such as they are, it looks like plastic to me.

Side plates are translucent tempered glass, and I even have coated mirror glass.
