Loque’s Website is so confusing. I bought mine from amazon:

They restock every so-often, you just have to keep an eye out for them. NCase M1 V6 is supposed to be coming out soon, and Louqe Ghost S1 just had a pretty big restock on Amazon a few weeks ago.

Looks like the ghost is still in stock in Ash on Amazon at the moment

>I can't tell if it includes the tophat or not

It doesn't, appears that is an additional $50 charge.

>it's made of magnesium alloy or something

They claim it is made of 'aircraft grade aluminum' earlier, I'd imagine it's Aluminum-magnesium Alloy, not true magnesium alloy (IE 50+% mg instead of 50+% Al). They specifically call out 6061, which is the same material the iPhone 6 frame wase made of. Which is funny, because that's not typically aircraft grade, the 7XXX series is, 6xxx series is more cars/boats.

I'm sure the case would be fine - but don't forget to factor in shipping. I'm not sure I would go with a Ghost over it - but I probably trust TaoBao agents more than I do Loque at this point having dealt with the former and only watched people generally struggle with the later. But the Ghost is currently on Amazon for not much more - so it may very well be the better option.


Some other comments:
Reviews of it observe it has similar issues with paint mis-matchin as the ghost did.
There are a few reviews comparing it directly to the S1 - stating the S1 is superior quality (in part due to the steel frame)

Ghost S1 is in stock at Amazon right now.

They are on sale now $242 via Prime. I expect these listings to be pulled within hours and relisted on 5/30

Ghost S1 Amazon US

There are some in Ash on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FSKXG4F/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I am open to buying your case, but trade wise this is an uneven trade.

does this help? https://www.amazon.com/LOUQE-Ghost-S1-Ash/dp/B07FSKXG4F/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=LOUQE&qid=1572423286&sr=8-3

Check out THIS post over at r/sffpc where all MITX cases are compared in one render, I used this and decided to purchase the Nouvolo Steck, this was the cheaper copy of the Ghost S1, which i was not able to obtain, and couldn't justify the cost for anyway.

I would love to get theVelka 3 - that case is so tiny. But as the mini GPUs seem quite a bit more expensive and more limited, i preferred one of the smallest cases that could fit a full size GPU.

With that said, My personal preference for the best options are:

• Dancase A4 - hard to obtain for me and probably more than i want to pay
  
• Kolink Rocket - a copy of the dan case, cheaper and easily availible
  
• Louqe Ghost S1 - A modular, expandable case with magnetic top and sides, again very expensive and very difficult to purchase, a bit wider than above so allows larger coolers which should result in better temps.
  
• Nouvolo Steck - a copy of the Ghost S1 and its modular design, much cheaper and readily available.
  
  To switch to these cases, you would obviously need an SFX PSU like THIS for $70
  
  Apart from the GPU the rest of your setup is golden. Personally, i wouldn't switch CPU just yet, wait another year, you already have a good board for future upgrades. F
  
  or the Steck and PSU, your looking at a total cost $220
  
  Once you have the case & PSU you want, just get a new GPU to suit. Boom!

Amazon has black in stock for regular price.

I think the Ash ones are in stock (finally) on amazon for $269 right? Obviously not including tax, but free shipping with prime?

You can get one today on Amazon.

Just ordered one! I had been waiting for all of this to get sorted out, but I guess this works too. We'll have to wait and see if these all get delivered on time. I ordered a limestone with a medium tophat.

Edit: Links for those that are having trouble finding it:
