The GHOST RC1: Same Soul, Different Build

You spoke, we designed. The launch of the GHOST R1 was a journey, and your feedback has been the single most important part of its evolution. But we also heard something else loud and clear: a desire for a GHOST that captures the iconic aesthetic and thermal philosophy, but with a more direct path to a finished build.

Enter the GHOST RC1.

Let's be clear: the RC1 isn't a "lite" version of the R1. It's a different tool for a different type of builder. Think of it this way:

• The GHOST R1 MkIII is for the Master. It’s the ultimate canvas. It’s for the builder who savors every moment, who obsesses over the perfect cable run, and wants the uncompromising feel of fully extruded and milled aluminum. The R1 is as much about the process of building as it is about the final product. It’s a statement piece you craft.
• The GHOST RC1 is for the Purist. It’s about pure, accessible performance. By utilizing precision high-pressure die-cast aluminum parts, we've created a chassis that retains that premium metal feel and the unmistakable GHOST DNA, but in a package that’s more streamlined to assemble. The RC1 is for the builder who wants to get to the destination — a stunning, powerful, and cool-running SFF PC — with elegant efficiency.
  

So, Which Ghost Are You?

Both cases share the same core identity and commitment to quality that defines LOUQE. They are two siblings, born from the same design philosophy but with their own distinct personalities. One is about the mastery of the journey, the other is about the purity of the result.

The choice isn't about which is better; it’s about which one is better for you.

Both the GHOST R1 MkIII and the new GHOST RC1 are now available for pre-order.

We’re incredibly proud to be expanding the ecosystem and can’t wait to see the incredible builds you all create.
