Ghost S1 (Ash) Mini-ITX Computer Case

The only issue at 2.5 kg it is exactly twice that of Dan Case a4(my previous) 1.25kg. Now for the advantages.1. CPU cooling this fits Noctua L12 (Use 92mm fan in case of clearance issues), which can handle 200watts without making much noise. This is the primary reason for me switching from Dan Case. Do not use any cooler with the fan on top as it generates a lot of noise due to air turbulence between the fan and case (eg Noctua L9x65).2. You can expand using the top hat for adding storage, I would suggest the medium hat for a 3.5-inch drive. Though you need this only is using this as a backup or cheap HDD storage, otherwise, 3 SSDs can already fit into the standard case. You do not need a top hat for Cooling Fans or AIO as L12 in pull configuration is more than enough to handle overclocking. The airflow is already optimized in this setup as the air is pulled from the sides and pushed out from top and bottom.3. The biggest surprise was cable management, you can route the 24pin and the GPU cable behind the PSU, and also fold any additional length cables behind the PSU. This neatly tucks and hides all the cables ( This is the reason the PSU is positioned a bit lower so that standard length 24 pin cable can be routed behind it). This makes a huge difference(compared to Dan Case A4), now you can easily add 2 additional 2.5" SSD below it(in addition to one behind the PSU) without any cables pushing against it. This makes the build looks super clean.

Do your homework. If you have any doubts, measure again. It's a work of art but there's also a reduced fudge factor due to the beautifully tight tolerances. I fit a Scythe BS3 in by swapping in a noctua 120x15mm. TOTALLY WORTH IT. TIGHT FIT. 8700k locked to 4.5 with a RTX 2070 OC. Idle temps are right at 40c. with a gaming load running Forza Horizon 4 at 4k 60hz ultra I'm seeing high 50's on the CPU and mid 60s on the GPU. Dropping down to Destiny 2 Highest settings maxed everything 1080p 120hz I can't get the GPU above 55 and CPU is happy in the high 40's. No tophat, no bottom intake. I'd recommend the Corsair sfx psu line because my EVGA GM 650 has bulky wires that were difficult to encourage into place. Corsair has better/smaller psu cables for this application imo. I'm running a secondary SSD in the bottom bracket so I'm blocking a significant amount of airflow and these thermals are still top notch. Overall 9.9/10 just because the front panel power button/led wires aren't sleeved or labled. Which is sad for the price. If you have all the right parts DO IT. You're welcome.

I built my first machine in this case and it went like a breeze, only complaint is the length of the power button and led cables length as especially the led cables are just not long enough for the rog strix mobo, I can fit it but with great struggle

**Be Warned** If you plan on using an MSI B450i with this case you must purchase additional jumper cables for the front I/O panel connections to reach your motherboard (15 cm should be enough).I ordered them on Amazon from here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GJJNJB3/ref=cfb_at_prodpgPros:- Material quality is excellent - feels expensive- Small/Low Profile- Great Looking case- Modular with Top hatsCons:- Price is high- Using their custom screws and wrench was a pain when building- Front I/O connections did not reach motherboardAdditional Comments: People have complained about one of the side panels being a super tight fit. I had no such problem with my unit. They must have addressed this issue with the third batch.Final Thoughts:Love the build overall, looks amazing. Thermals are quite good even without purchasing the additional top hats (3600/2060 Super). Although everything came together in the end, I was disappointed that I had to find a workaround to get my front I/O working given that this case costs 270 USD. Kind of expect everything to work out of the box with that price.

Very Expensive but if it’s the case you’re looking to keep for a while it might be worth it. Bought used (ash)and there were no dents or defects on arrival. Panels and other parts of the case feel very solid.

I love the form of this case. It’s sleek and minimal. Unfortunately, it shipped without the front power button light functioning and a large dent/scratch on that front panel. I’ve just reached out to customer support, I’ll update w their response

I love this case. The milled aluminium (not stamped) gives it a very premium feel. It was fairly easy to work in, as long as you remove the bottom panel completely for easier access to the motherboard screws. I do wish they didn't use a torx screw (on the off chance I loose the tool they provide), but they work well.

This case is worth the money. I have had mine for a month now and am loving it. It was easy to install a X570 itx board into and get running.
