Premium Computer Components

This will be my first small form factor PC after the rest of my CPU parts arrive. I did some research looking for a premium SFF case and settled on the Ghost S1 MK III over the Formd T1 as the Ghost S1 Artic was in stock. I know a lot of people have been waiting for Artic White to come out, but I was very lucky and got my product pretty quickly. Some customers have also complained about the quality control of recent batches on Reddit, but after reviewing my case carefully I haven't seen or…

Pros
  • Good Thing

Long wait and poor quality

Visible scratches on the sides and front. After 6 months of waiting for supplies one wonders how they could throw the ball so badly at KK. For over $300 there are definitely better cases out there.

Pros
  • Only positive
Cons
  • Long delivery time

The designer tried to be an engineer

All is not really what it seems, sorry no sorry for running that thing over. It's just too expensive for what you get and this is the third iteration of this thing (Mk3)? What really worries me is that there is nothing comfy about the design. Nothing makes my life easier than a regular case, and in almost every aspect of building a PC, it's actually harder. First 10 screws are needed before you can remove a side panel. 8 should detach from the top or bottom panel, then another 2 from the back…

Pros
  • Inside-Out Design: The self-contained back design offers unmatched rigidity, flexibility and accessibility.
Cons
  • Compatibility

Excellent layout and expandability with some features

The layout concept is excellent, since everything bolts to the center pole and all but two sides drop down, it's much easier to assemble and work with other fixed box frame small form factor cases. The modularity/expandability is great too, you can add a lot of extra internal space while keeping the overall footprint pretty small. The size is perfect for an air-cooled setup or mounting a 240mm radiator cooler on top with a large top. On the CPU side, there's plenty of room for a larger air…

Pros
  • Airflow Spotlight: Cooling air is drawn in from each fuel-generating component and channeled up through the top.
Cons
  • Damaged

Absolutely not worth the price. Terrible Arctic White Finish

* Added to my build photo to give an idea of the overall space with the circus tent. Very tight as you can see. See the full review below. At the moment I can't even remember when MKIII was supposed to come out. I understand things are taking longer with COVID but I expect the quality to make up for that. Arctic White is a $350 case with terrible finishes. Extremely striking in person and you can see it in the photos I've attached. The front and back of the case are kept in a much cooler white,

Pros
  • Enhanced Features: Mk III cases feature a new ultra-smooth finish, redesigned blade and grille, and our new COBALT TWINAX PCI-e RC260 GEN 4+ vertical cable.
Cons
  • Weight
