Review on LOUQE Ghost S1 Mk III (Ash): Sleek and Compact Mini-ITX Computer Case by George Utley

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Waste of money - computers and accessories

Very similar fit and finish issues as mentioned by others. The tab will not stick to anything and will pop out if you try to remove the top plate, the magnets still have enough resistance when removed. The ending is absolutely awful. The front and back appear to be anodized, while the side panels are made from very thin Ceracot, which isn't nearly as durable as claimed. If you look at the finish wrong, just touching it will scratch or mark it. I was disappointed to see that the updated PCIe cable didn't have the flat ribbon design of previous models, but that was evident from the pictures posted. The new cable appears to be flimsy as each wire is exposed. The motherboard brackets are too far from the back of the case. Even with my I/O Shield installed, there is still a noticeable gap between the chassis and the screen. I had to bend the flat springs on my screen almost 90 degrees to make contact with the case. The position of the GPU mount seems random. The PCIe bracket could be adjusted to provide more space for larger GPUs, but the cylinder might not sell as well. I wanted to love this case given everything I've heard and the price. After using the cover for several months, I can't even say I like it. There are so many better options to choose from well below this price point. They don't sacrifice size and money for something that looks elegant outdoors. You're spending way too much money on something that looks dirty after you pick it up, scratches incredibly easily, and just isn't worth it.

Pros
  • As everything before
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
