The R1 Has Landed. (No, Really.)

Alright team, take a deep breath. You can stop refreshing that order page. The day has finally come. The legends were true, the whispers were not in vain, and yes, the LOUQE R1 is here, in the flesh — the glorious, anodized aluminum flesh.

We know. The wait has been epic, a proper saga. Some of you probably thought we were hand-carving each chassis from a single block of unobtanium with a teaspoon. Honestly, some days it felt like it. We are incredibly, profoundly humbled by your patience and trust. This project was a beast, and it taught us a ton.

A Swedish Saga with an Aluminum Lining

The R1's arrival marks a massive milestone for us. Following the path we forged with the RAW S1, we’ve now brought Ghost R1 production home to Sweden. This move was a monumental task, involving not just a new factory but entirely new suppliers. It was a complete reset, filled with complex challenges — from sourcing the perfect aluminum to dialing in the anodization process. Every single part was tricky, but our vision was uncompromising.

This wasn't just about changing location; it was about elevating our craft. The result is a build quality you can feel. The R1 is an evolution, a larger form factor designed from the ground up to tame the thermal demands of the latest generation of high-end GPUs from NVIDIA and AMD. It’s the SFF philosophy, scaled for today’s power.

Brace Yourselves: Shipping Imminent

So, here’s the news you’ve actually been waiting for.

Shipping for all pre-orders starts tomorrow!

Your patience is about to be rewarded. We cannot wait to see the incredible builds you all create with this chassis.

And for those who held back, waiting to see if it was real? We get it. The good news is we managed to produce a slightly larger batch than the pre-orders. A limited number of new orders will open up very, very soon. Keep your eyes peeled.

Thank you for sticking with us on this journey. The community is everything. Now, go clear some desk space.

Let’s see those build logs! Tag us in your unboxings and progress pics over on X and Instagram.

See you out there,
— Team LOUQE
