A prototype is a preliminary model of something. Projects that offer physical products need to show backers documentation of a working prototype. This gallery features photos, videos, and other visual documentation that will give backers a sense of what’s been accomplished so far and what’s left to do. Though the development process can vary for each project, these are the stages we typically see:

GHOST S1

With the fundamental idea of a computer case designed to hold uncompromised performance in a Scandinavian, minimalistic and stunningly small form factor - GHOST S1 was born.

” Strategy is about making choices, trade-offs, it's about deliberately doing something different. We believe we are driving a Generation shift, the Ghost S1 changes a lot, it is like nothing we have ever seen before. It will likely have a significant impact on the market – a new normal – and we hope to see other manufacturers start replicating it. The PC community deserves more refined products that are designed do last! With the Ghost S1 base XS platform we have focused on the essentials and thrown everything that is not critical out the window to prioritize what really matters – some of which are: Cooling performance, ease of build, noise reduction and build quality.”

The minimalistic design of GHOST S1 is not just looks – despite its modest dimensions, it carries countless unique features never seen in a computer case before.

Read about its size, performance, flexibility, quality, compatibility and innovative architecture below.

IMMACULATE ATTENTION TO DETAILS

Milled from solid blocks of aluminum, this case offers a level of quality not seen other PC computer case out there. Glass blasted anodized aluminum exterior, Red heli-coils, pressed stainless steel stand-offs and polished neodymium magnets are just a couple of details that make this case stand out above all others. Nothing has been left untouched, every millimeter of this case has been carefully considered and purposely designed to maintain this level of quality in every single detail. NO MORE DELIDDING OR DOWNVOLTING Forget throttling, overheating, noise and performance loss. With the Ghost S1 you will never have to worry about those things anymore. The Ghost is likely to perform significantly better than your full-size system you are rockn' today. Compare it with any other sub 20-liter case and you will be blown away. At the bottom of this page you will find links to our test documents, please read through the CPU AIR cooler report carefully, if you have the possibility to run the same test on your own system, please do to get an idea of what this little “badboy” is capable of!

THE CONCEPT The GHOST S1 is easiest described in detail by looking at four different structural stages: (1) The Spine, (2) the Core, (3) the side panels and (4) the TopHats.

1. THE SPINE This is where most of the engineering hours have been spent. Maximizing functionality while simplifying the layout has been the primary guiding principle throughout the design process. The hardware of your choice is mounted directly to the Spine making it the single most vital component of the case. The voids have been carefully calculated to allow multiple points of entry during build without compromising the structural integrity of the case - so convenient that we have a patent pending. 2. THE CORE Without using any tools, the case is quickly “undressed”, leaving you with the Core where alterations to your config easily can be made. Simply pull the “Grill” up, slide the side panels out and you are in. 3. THE SIDE PANELS Just like the gables, the side panels are made from extruded magnesium reinforced aluminum that is later CNC milled with 1.320 3 mm holes, the milling creates a gorgeous chamfer on every single hole, making the side panels “come alive”. 4. TOPHATS We don't believe a computer case should be bigger than necessary. However, being a performance junkie sometimes means you need to fit more stuff than the Average Joe. The TopHat modules are designed to expand the volume of your GHOST S1 XS, making it a S, M, or L. The TopHats are interchangeable between the top and the bottom position. Build (air cooled) Build (liquid cooled) What about custom loops, will you be able to fit a custom made liquid cooling closed loop? We have put a Ghost S1 in the hands of professional case modders to figure this one out. The system is equipped with some of the latest hardware such as an intel i7 8700K and EVGA 1080ti GPU.

FORMATS & COLORS GHOST S1 comes in three colors and endless form factors - What's your combo? GHOST S1 could be configured in different sizes by adding TopHat(s) of your choice. What you choose to use the extra space for is up to you, but we made it ready to fit the most common 120 mm accessories like fans and radiators right out-of-the-box. The architecture and configurability remove the traditional limits of SFF cases and let’s your imagination set the boundaries. COLORS The Ghost comes in 3 colors, Ash, Limestone and Arctic. They two first are glass blasted to create a deep matt finish before anodized, the Arctic uses far more complex methods to achieve that gorgeous white finish: Ash.

A very special anodize method allows us to offer this unique white version, glossier than the other two and more expensive to produce, that's why we need to charge you another 250 SEK for this option and no additional cost for TopHats in with this finish Colors are selected after the campaign and

YOUR COMBO

There are at least 75 permutations of this case, selecting the right one for you is understandably difficult. To give you more time to make up your minds, TopHats and colors will be selected through a survey after the campaign is over. Only one TopHat is possible to acquire through this platform. However, all backers that opt for a pledge including a TopHat will get the chance to acquire more TopHats before the delivery of the Ghost S1 through other channels.
