Just for a bit of perspective, SFF overall is a tiny portion of the DIY PC space (growing, true, but still tiny), of which the Ghost and its clones are just a relatively small group of cases. "Their sales taking a huge hit" based on this ... no. Likely not even noticeable in global sales. Is it a shame? Absolutely. Though the same is of course true for anything above the RTX 3070, as those are also almost exclusively >2-slot (except for the FE, which is pretty much unavailable). It would be really interesting to see if the reference 6800 cooler fit the 6800 XT though - I could see some SFF enthusiasts buying both, swapping the coolers, then selling the 6800 with a fat cooler to someone wanting low noise in a bigger case

[QUOTE="Valantar, post: 228302, member: 5738"] Just for a bit of perspective, SFF overall is a tiny portion of the DIY PC space (growing, true, but still tiny), of which the Ghost and its clones are just a relatively small group of cases. "Their sales taking a huge hit" based on this ... no. Likely not even noticeable in global sales. Is it a shame? Absolutely. Though the same is of course true for anything above the RTX 3070, as those are also almost exclusively >2-slot (except for the FE, which is pretty much unavailable). It would be really interesting to see if the reference 6800 cooler fit the 6800 XT though - I could see some SFF enthusiasts buying both, swapping the coolers, then selling the 6800 with a fat cooler to someone wanting low noise in a bigger case :P [/QUOTE]
