You fit your components, pray the cables squeeze in (recommend Corsair sfx power supply) and walk away feeling great about the build! Review: Built like a stealth bomber - Surprisingly functional for such a small case. I was able to fit two 240mm AIOs. My system is silent with such a small footprint. Both GPU and CPU loads are in the low 50’s. I love how the case is modular and was able to add two top hats to fit my liking. It’s now a little taller, but can still fit in the corner of my workstation without taking much room at all.

Others have worked around this by using a large tophat, and an additional large tophat to cover the bottom on the side of the GPU. **Q: Is this the newest batch?** A: Yes, Mk III is our latest batch of cases! **Q: Could you fit nzxt z63 and a 300 mm gpu in this case** A: no on that AIO and you can fit a two-slot card in with the stock cooler anything else you'll have to modify. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Quality *by M***M on February 10, 2023* It’s a simple, clean look that makes zero compromises.

The modularity/expandability is also great, you can add a lot of extra interior space while keeping the overall footprint quite small. The size is perfect for doing an air-cooled build or a top-mounted 240mm radiator cooler with the large tophat. There's plenty of room on the CPU side for a larger air cooler, or a moderately-sized water pump/reservoir combo block. My only complaint with the design is that you more-or-less have to break down the case to do any cleaning/maintenance, but at least it's fast and easy to break down. The side panels slide into dovetails on the front/back panels, and are held in place by either the fixed tophat or the bottom panel, which means you have to break out a torx screwdriver and disassemble one or the other to remove a side panel. If you don't have a tophat, you can leave the screws off the bottom, and let the magnetically-attached top dust cover (and gravity) hold the panels in, but then you have to be careful not to lift the case by the side panels because they will start to slide out. Fit and finish wise, it looks slick, and feels very premium- the matte aluminum sheds fingerprints much better than a glossy finish, and the radiused corners look great. As others have mentioned is not quite perfect. The color between panels seems extremely consistent, at least on the black (ash) version, but panel fit has a little bit of drift in the spec, which is not good since the tolerances are pretty tight for fitting the panels. All-in-all, the panel fit is probably 95%, and you would never notice except on very close inspection, but in this price range I feel it's warranted to be a bit picky. The top and bottom panels are stamped & powder-coated steel rather than milled aluminum, so they do have a bit of flex to them, and are a bit fragile. I could see them getting bent up if you're not careful handling them. I did not have any issues with the panel threading, it looks like it uses steel inserts, which is good, because there really are not many screws holding it all together. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/254399463-louqe-ghost-s1-mk-iii-ash-mini-itx-computer-case](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/254399463-louqe-ghost-s1-mk-iii-ash-mini-itx-computer-case) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
