Silverstone Raven RV01 - A Closer Look

[Aurahead]

Can I ask why yours is not black inside?

[inakretep]

I believe that the windowed versions have a black interior - this one isn't a window model. This case was from one of the first production runs though, so they may have made a couple of changes

[Aurahead]

Thank you so much. Now I understand.

I will order one next week with window. This case seems to awesome and have great potential.

How is the airflow? Does it works good with fan that came with it?

[inakretep]

Airflow is, frankly, amazing - the cooling is truly awesome

[Aurahead]

Omg Omg Omg! I have never been exciting like this before. I just ordered one. It should arrive next week Monday/Tuesday

[Ellista2k]

one bad thing is sometimes the sata cable isnt long enough to reach the Hard drive from the motherboard..Sometimes

[leopardrox]

I went to Frys and seen this case. It is ugly and huge.

I almost bought it because of how nice the inside looks but the outside is just plain ugly and plastic.

[MirokuKneda]

O.o! Auto-close on from panel? Wow!

[Peetah16]

holy sh!t nice case

[muslimz0wnz]

i don't get the mobo thing

[fender1085]

Prolly better airflow

[MajinBoo321]

u mean u dont get y the motherboard placement is inverted 90 degrees up? They did it not just for unique feature but as fender said, better air flow. By having it inverted 90 degree up, all your fans would face up too, instead of side. Plus they have 2 big fans on the bottom also, which rises air up which is how heat is spread out naturally. Heat rises up, so by having fans blowing up, its easier and faster to get rid of the heat then to blow it to the side. Anyway, Good tower, but bit expensive

[azureguy]

heat rises and it's easier to pull it upwards than to the side.

uuuummm ya i have found it and i want it.very nice vid man and your avitar looks like my friend's guild cape in guild wars.iv been looking for pc products that have the name Raven in them cuz my avitar is ravensharpless

[darklordjac]

this case look AMAZING...if you ask me

[p4saw4y]

it would eventually look even better if you powder coat the bare metal with black color.

[inakretep]

The windowed model has a black interior by the way :)

[GridTec]

SICK case I think i might upgrade from my HAF 932

[hi7of3of2hi9]

hoizontal motherboard mount !

Now thats something new....

[KandAshow]

You guys shot this in HD, but how come you didn't post it in HD? The video is edited very nicely, great job.

[inakretep]

HD uploading is only allowed for USA-based members :)

...and it wasn't actually shot in HD - just up-rezzed in After Effects :)

[KandAshow]

wow that looked really good for SD, I was sure it looked like downgraded HD. What camera did you use? Also just a quick question, do you think the sliding door that keeps the drive bays hidden will break / stop working easily. Im just concerned because it looks like it would easily fail over time.

[inakretep]

Thanks! :)

It was filmed on a Panasonic DVX100A.

As for the door, I can't say for certain - I've been using this case since finishing the video and have had no problems so far.

I was a little concerned on the durability factor as well, but only time will tell :)

[Luky1Jay]

Why on earth is it only for USA based members? Racist :(

Anywho, i think this case looks great, im getting one today

[9joker6]

great video, what's the music?

[inakretep]

It's royalty free music composed in Sonicfire pro :)

[9joker6]

thank u! very nice!

[rainier1990]

only thing i can tell its gonne cost around 200/250 US dollars

[leo1337hs]

this case just KOed the antec 1200

its insane

[lorteju]

Well, i have the antec 1200.. i don't see that it looks even a bit the same?

[nxmoparmatt84]

this looks nothing like the 1200.

[illectrikSkope]

+1 on the win for silverstone

[manbearpig91]

looks expensive

[chino555]

wow am so getting that raven

[gremlinkiller]

[BoSnIaK4ever]

Nice case! Hows the airflow in this thing? Thinking of getting it. ;)

[reed2slc]

Look at the "Stack Effect cooling RAVEN RV01 case - part 1" to the right, looks pretty damn good. Im getting it next pay day.

[DrOpHaTeRs]

I hands down love this case and am getting it in a week or so. be looking out for videos
