price is a range and starting from 299, which is - even considering the more basic finish - a very significant difference. Also if availability is there LOUQE is facing some trouble.

No dude, the AIO extension is 299 . The case is 1799. And with a 45 day minimum wait you are better off with a real Ghost

I've noticed that a lot of the Taobao cases have the same block of aluminum for their GPU retention. Looks like it's a separate piece that's secured to the rear panel by two screws from the inside. Here's some images from the Loli2 and the ZS-A4 and a Sunmilo case posted previously for example:



I wonder if I might be able to source this odd piece for my own personal use, but I can't figure out what to really call them. Anyone have any clue? I've also seen a variation of this block that holds down the bottom tabs of the GPUs (near where the PCIe connector is) for mounting with a riser cable.

No idea how to help you, but I can confirm my Sunmilo case has the same block :)

Yes, almost all the fixed parts of the graphics card are made by me.

Can you also sell directly here? I am no longer buying but I once considered buying buy the added cost of proxy made me reconsider.

I can absolutely recommend Sunmilo, his cases quality is TOP NOTCH, in fact I'll be selling my Sunmilo case in Europe (red dragon mini itx in black) probably around december if anyone is looking to get one :)

Aha! The source appears!

Edit: I forgot the original reason I mentioned it! You wouldn't happen to be selling that part, would you? If not, I understand. I was just looking for some solutions, and your part gave me an idea of how to mount a GPU in my case mod and build without bending sheet metal.

The bending aluminum plate is easy to damage when used in practice.
I can provide the fixed parts, but the freight is a very big problem.

Ah ok, I kind of expected freight to be a problem. It's a small part anyways, I don't want to trouble you over it. No matter, I'll look for other solutions! :D
