They gave the backers a good look at the revised case design, you guys should be quite happy once they get it posted here in full detail.

...For the Dan A4 Dondan has said it takes 5-6 months, which is a little too long of a wait for me.
Our definite goal is to be able to deliver well before Christmas, Oct-Nov!
"Why not change the 120 mm original fan ( Noctua NH-L12) to a Slim version as Prolimatech Ultra 120 mm, http://www.prolimatech.com/en/products/detail.asp?id=2722&subid=2729#showtab.
Then you can skip Low profile Dram.
Yeah, but in involves cutting off the blades underneath, which doesn't sound like a proper solution to me..
But hey, this is Hardforum, right?
Someone asked why they haven't been posting it across forums and their reasoning was "we will start spreading the information around forums soon, the value of going through it with you first is that we get many good questions that we will be able to proactively address before they appear"Unfortunately, I think they've missed the lesson here: being open and communicative during the development process is what gets people invested in the project, and ultimately what gets them to back it when the time comes. Moving the discussion to a private, limited-access group only hurts them in the long run.
Who is "he"? I think you misunderstood who's behind this project. It's not one person, they are a team.I agree with the last few posts. I was a kickstarter backer before he took it down. Now I'm much more interested in the A4-SFX v2 if this is how he's going to communicate.
I don't remember seeing anything i don't use facebook so not sure if updates have been posted there recently.They gave the backers a good look at the revised case design, you guys should be quite happy once they get it posted here in full detail.
Exiciting news. Really hope the next campaign is successful.... even though I'm not in for this cas, mostly cuz its not as portable (see link below) and I already have a small case. But related to the link, if one of the modular top part of the case would include a handle, it would be awesome.

A Tempered glass side window, what are your thoughts? We need to clean the design up of course and make it cleaner but this works as a presentation of concept. Side filters still slide in there (seen in one of the images).
Wow a copy paste of my solution.
There are already many manufacters that use this solution...If you read my thread i did hours of testing and prototyping i found out that you need a cutout into the window to have airflow. If you have only the gap the temps will be very bad.
Furthermore there are other options to design a window and I am not talking about only adding holes.

I'm sure he has given it some serious thought too.

Ok then it is wasted to say that the four mounting holes on the panel are in the keep out area for the glass. For tempered the formula is thickness x 5 and for acryl thickness x 3. In the current design the glass will break on the corners while drilling or cutting the four holes.
As I said a fast copy without thinking of it.
If you review the case drawings there are other construction mistakes like the thin stripes in the bottom plate or the mounting holes on the back of the shell that are too close to the bends. Also the renders looks not really smooth the reason is Keyshot needs more time for making it smooth. Why not let keyshoot run for 20min for each picture.
Don't get me wrong the base idea is good and they become better but I have the feeling they make everything too fast and don't take the time to make it perfect.
You are right! We are not big players, we are a small community with great unique projects. But this will only work if we try to be unique and don't start copy from each other, because this is what all the big players do. I was ready for the situation that a big player starts copy my ideas or makes it very similar, but not inside the community. Maybe you have a different opinion about it, but I spend tons of hours with my ideas and that is the reason why I think this way.
This is my last statement to this thread sorry for offtopic.

LOL! please, no one cares who did it first. this isn't kindergarden
manufacturer will come and go and in the end, great projects will be used, remembered or forgotten on their own merits.

But see, that's the thing. If I'm buying a small, cube-case of this sort, why am I going to buy the Ghost?
The Dan A4 is already established and is a great little case. If I want more space and watercooling support, then I turn to the Ncase M1.
The Ghost is doing a couple interesting things, but the way the development team is carrying themselves leaves a bit of a sour taste in my mouth, and more importantly...
Nowhere have they convinced me to buy their case. Nowhere do they show what benefit it has compared to its competitors. Okay, sure, it has this spine, and that's the heart of the build, and it has modular tophats.
So what? Why should I, as a potential purchaser, care? Why is it better to have a spine? What do the top hats allow me to do that I wouldn't otherwise?
The biggest flaw this project has is the way the team is approaching the community. If you look at the cases that have been wildly successful, they've been built with input from those of us who are fanatics about small computers - in other words, the customer base.
The attitude that's been projected by the Ghost team, whether it's the attitude they actually hold or not, is, "we're the designers and we're going to make something and it will be good and you should buy it because we're the designers." The first Kickstarter campaign was launched with literally no marketing, then there was the whole deal with the closed group redesign...
If you want the community to buy into your case, you're going to have to acknowledge that we know what we're talking about. This isn't like the world of ATX cases where there are thousands of competing products and a market large enough to just make a thing, throw it out into the world, and make money off of it.
You have to show how what you're doing is different, and more importantly, why doing it that way is better.
I have to disagree here. I've actually been waiting for something like this to come a long for awhile because the dan-case has a lot of flaws that is actually addressed in the ghost but in the same footprint.
It offers a far more flexible solution to the dancase and that is the merit of the ghost
Does the dancase v2 come with proprietary integrated salt powered PSUs? LMAO please get over yourself my dude. You're unironically trying to claim tempered glass side panels is "your" idea in 2017. What world do you live in?Wow a copy paste of my solution.
