Louqe Ghost S1 ( Uber sexy mITX case)

[AceSwiftShooter]

I am in love with this case. Very keen to get one. Very pricy though, especially if you add a top hat, which I would want to do.
Who else has see it? Thoughts?

Seen some of the builds with this tiny shoebox, looks so damn nice. Just like you mentioned the price is a bit steep.

Anyone else think this case is amazing? Wouldn't mind doing a huge group buy or something

I thought it would come with an actual tophat, not just a thing to make it taller.

Your csgo ranking is going to drop drastically since you can’t see any rgb fans. I won’t take that risk

But it just looks so damn neat. Clean. Minimalist. 8700k, 1080ti, aio, m.2 that's it

Hi, I see that they have the 3d plans for free on the website. What would my options be to get it made? or 3d printed?

Contact 3d printer, print.

The panels are all extrusions, having it made to those drawings will be expensive AF. And 3d printing a case? Will take away from the clean lines of the case imo. And will just look bleh.

Very interested in this 3d printing method!

Not if you sand it properly.

I would be interested depending on price, this case and the Dan case A4 are my top two wanted cases!

Also 3D printing would work if you put in the time just think the power button and the power cord will be a challenge to find.

I disagree tbh, you can print this and have the various items bent where needed for less, considerably less, hell you could have that case laser cut from Stainless steel for a fraction of the selling price.

Thought of that, wouldn't aluminium be a better bet to get rid of heat.
Think it would

It will never look like a Louqe S1 then.
Bending is not as accurate as one might think.

If you want to make a case that kinda looks like the Louqe S1 but is put together differently, then ya laser and bend the entire thing.

Aluminium just doesn't lasercut as easily but water jet is generally quite clean but more expensive.

If you bend it properly you honestly shouldn't have an issue, I send my work to a company that does 4 axis laser cutting and bending and the results are always excellent.

Our company has all our parts laser cut, we bend on our fancy machines. Despite accurate design, there is still a lot of error that creeps in.

Anyway, are we talking about replicating a case, or making one that looks similar?

If you offered me a sheet metal case for R1000 I wouldn't want it cos it will not have anywhere near the appeal of the original, which for me is what makes it so sexy.

Would be cool if some guys can have some printed or lasered to see the results!

Yeh I would never go for a straight sheet metal case rather SS so you are correct it would be a similar look but not the original.

And if you spit the components ?
Screw it together with a plastic plate and some small screws ?

 

[AceSwiftShooter]

Anyone got one of these yet? Likely not, as it would have been shown off somewhere!!

@ARKSEZA got a larger printer yet?

Actually yes slightly bigger, but this model is 25mm just too big.. which can be scaled down slightly to work of course, I dont think 2.5cm is the end of the world
🤷‍♂️

But the way this was designed will need hella lotta supports, which ups the price a lot.. up to the OP what the budget is for this
