[Fatpandas2014]

is there any room for a 360mm rad? with push only?

[RozzoFX]

@Fatpandas2014 No mounting points. ;/

[shirke01]

PCWizKiD can you review the Silverstone Raven RV03

[Nefus1988]

There is an updated version of this case called RV02-E wich have a harddrive cage like the FT02 and include Silverstones 180mm airpenetrator fans.

[s4stem]

Will a Noctua NH-D14

[s4stem]

NZXT Phantom or Raven RV02?

[deathflyer10]

Possible to put a triple rad down there?:D

[HyyRisque]

i prefer pcwizkid more than 3dgameman

[ledbea]

I love the raven series cases. rotating the mb 90 deg is the ultimate why didn't anyone do this sooner. If i ever need a full tower case this is the one I'm going to get for sure. Great review, glad to see I'm not the only one who doesn't knock points for not haveing a removable mb trey.

[JAGUAR1CE]

hi

will my Noctua NH-U12P SE2 fit in this case?

plz reply!!

[Whizzer191]

@JAGUAR1CE If you're still wondering, it will fit. I don't have this case, but I saw a picture of someone using it in a review. I recall there's 161 millimeter of clearance, which is more than the Noctua needs. I do have the cooler and I will be getting Silverstone's FT02, which has about the same amount of clearance.

[shalomyo]

would the top have enough space for a dvi to vga + the actual vga connection

[genioxrapter]

thanks for the review, there were interesting clips in here which I couldn't see in other Youtube reviews.

[avnsun]

The cables running from the PCI slots of mobo to the back block the fan

[cheese2396]

It's only 27 pounds. It's not THAT heavy.

[EliteSoldier112]

Seriously 27 ain't much, I mean I do arm curls with 25's lol and that's honestly not much.

[LEEJIMM]

@EliteSoldier112 weak...lol jk

[masterhellz]

....dont forget :" the fan is a NON-RED NON-LED NON-Transparent"....

[Alwyn1000]

is anything actually holding the psu up?

[AntiStupidity]

@Alwyn1000

Yup, there's a plastic peice you attach to the case that supports the lower corner of the PSU, and there's a strap you can wrap around the PSU as well as the common screws you put into the back of the PSU.

Your PSU will literally not be going anywhere.

[David12King]

Does it cool well? It seems like a good idea

[shalvam]

Thanks for the review. Best case ever for air cooled systems i think.

You should add that it's possible to replace the 180mm fans with 120mm. I will get the raven 2 next week and i dont know if those fans are silent. If not i will replace it with 120mm Be Quiet! USC fans. The Be Quiet! fans are very very silent with 12V and have good airflow.

It is also not possible to install a 31cm long graphics card. Only 30cm.

[KainProject]

Thank you for this excellent review.

[kazab00]

Very cool case , I didn't like the power and reset buttons they are too easy to press them by a mistake (or your little sister ^^)

[jakestweeker]

who says radeater

[thetechguy7271]

Kool

[dacooter]

Great reviewer though!!

[dacooter]

i dont like this case. well thats just me!

[Jiraya12345]

Can't say the idea of the PSU hanging from the top like that appeals to me too much...

[stjj6641]

why must they have 3 fans at the bottom when hot air rises and cold air sinks? doesn't that defeat the purpose buy dragging the hotair downwards?

[Kalywonkas]

They're intake fans, they take IN cool air from below the case, the hot air is blown out of the top

[Eragon86micky]

nice...

[Delus1on77]

the FTo2 looks very similar to this (a bit more classic) but it has a nicer HDD compartment

[librano]

How are the cables to the monitor, speakers, etc arranged with that top panel in place?

[PCWizKid]

@librano The cables still come out the back, but from the top there is a opening for all the cabled to come through.

[dproffessa]

@PCWizKid

Did you review the RV01 too?

[tropico79]

least you could fit any graphics card in it

[swicked4911]

Looks bloody brilliant in my opinion. Different, but for a cause. Hot air rises people!

[cusinndzl]

Nice video.

[punxz18]

damn! its long!

[legitman207]

thats what she said!!!!!!!!!!

[librano]

haha

[haguylerman]

Well its really nice case, its also makes sense the hot air coming up ! 5starter

[iLuis21]

dude hot air will always rise up and cold air will go down its has to do with density cold air is more dense thats why it goes down

[saurabhsgupta]

please show your picture pcwizkid, I am a big fan of yours.

[pakaztai]

Can't wait to see it in action....

[ikcti]

I think the top looks really ugly, and I wouldn't want a long case. But it's pretty interesting.

[CrysisLTU]

thanks! you uploaded this video on my birthday!

[RaitedRr]

do a review on thermaltake level 10 if you can. it looks crazyyyy.

[LukyGamer]

I have this case it works like a dream, all my connectors fit i have a video on my channel if you want to check it out, ill post a better looking one when i get my new cam.

[chino555]

o personally liked the first raven but 5 stars for video

[HLuna52180]

Still can't see a video connector (DVI or VGA) fitting under the top cover. Can you confirm that there is enough clearance to plug in all connectors and still be able to fit the raven-winged top cover back on there? If so, then I am very interested in this case since I always gravitate toward products that think "outside the box". Enjoyed you review of this product. 5 stars.

[pigflesh]

I honestly don't like this style. Good review though, 5*.

[PCWizKid]

@Raybrandit I put a link to the latest pricing / discounts in the right side video description. I think today its on sale for $140 US after rebate.

[bmw2go11]

Your videos are great it is just that your logo is in the way of everything!! Please make it about 1/2 as small!!!

KUDOS!!! 5*****

[PCWizKid]

@bmw2go11 Thanks will do next time.

[micolil]

can u make a vid of the parts inside of it...

i cant google a picture with parts in it T_T

[cookymon25]

nothing about thanksgiving? WHY??

[PCWizKid]

@cookymon25 Happy Turkey Day

[Cheburashka94]

looks like a nice case.

two tips

1.outline the thumbs symbol so you could see it better 2. make another video comparing this case to another temperature wise.

[EliteSlayer542]

It looks awesome, but it would be SOOO much nicer with some chrome trim along the top and front of the case.

[438426x1]

holy crap im gonna put like 20 fans in it lol it'll be like a heater in the winter

[SandmanGodslayer]

@PCWizKid: This case can fit The VGA´s ATi Radeon HD 5870? Thanks and cheers.

[LeetKrew090]

whats that song called ? :p

[digitalfxcube]

lol i was just wondering the same thing xD

[Xtclilium]

looks sweet but the grill on the top, will it block the cables? and wont all those fans make quite some noice?

[sandiegoborn32]

Looks pretty sweet!

[f00tballfever]

@PCWiz will a HD 4670 have any problems with 350W power supply??

- thanks

[master74200]

@f00tballfever That depends on your setup. If you have something like a Quad Core Extreme, it's probably going to struggle. A lot. But i'm using a setup with a Core2Duo running with the HD 4670 on such a power supply without any problems. You should however do some research until you're 100% sure.

[f00tballfever]

uhhh i have quad core Q6600 @ 2.40 GHz. 2GB RAM. i hope it will run fine

[master74200]

@f00tballfever As i previously wrote, do some research 'till you're sure.

[LiiGiSDx]

way no, trust me, at a time i owned it

[f00tballfever]

wat do u mean?

[coijoi]

nice

[fablonator24]

Its nice :D

[ThaTyger]

Very nice case, and I like the 90degrees turned motherboard consept. However if ,like me, you have your case ON your desk how will it work with cable management. Will the cables come sticking out the top? Or is there a guiderail on the backside or something to neatly get them to desk level?

[PCWizKid]

@ThaTyger the cables come out the top through the back (top back part under the lid).

[ThaTyger]

Thanks for the quick reply. Oke that makes cable management outside the case pretty much the same as on any case :)

[EJLfilms]

i love your pitched voice, old man

[legendray2008]

Test & results please :)

[julianbell90]

306 view, when i try to watch this vid it stops a 1:35, wtf?

[sjoerdkoala12]

I have a coolermaster HAF 932 case right now at my home (I am building my own pc, I still have to buy all the other parts). But I was wondering if its a good case.

[guitaroman101]

Yes it is, that is an amazing case

[TheMaster9124]

are you like a regular person at home making videos or you work for a company or something

[NepzGurkhaWarrior]

u show lots of pricey computer did u actually buy them then do review if u did then u proper rich

[jo05dk]

To bad you didn't show it filled with hardware. Especially with a case that's non standard, it's important in order for people to get the idea.

I have this case, and i'm really satisfied with it. Bit-Tech had a pretty bad review of it (looking at temps that is) lately, but every other review i've read it scores really well. My temps dropped dramatically compared to the Antec Solo i had before, and eventhough the noise level rose slightly, it's worth the better temps.

[histatimaniples]

the thing i truly dislike about this case is that the window is on the right side! i wonder if they sell a version with out a window

[PCWizKid]

@histatimaniples yes they sell with or without a window.

[histatimaniples]

killer news do you know where? thanks pcwizKid

[OoXxRAFIxXoO]

Studio XPS 8000, Intel® Core™ i5-750 processor(8MB Cache, 2.66GHz)

1024MB nVidia GeForce

4GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1066MHz - 4 DIMMs

500gb hard drive

Is this a good computer, should i buy it?

PLEASE REPLY

[AnsonPCKid]

great computer, how much?

[PCWizKid]

@OoXxRAFIxXoO yes, thats a good PC, if its not too expensive.

[OoXxRAFIxXoO]

850 dollars i think it is ok, what do you think?

[Ispyamoose]

You could probably build it yourself for cheaper, if you're comfortable building your own.

[MasaruGamer]

@OoXxRAFIxXoO

nooooo don't buy dell

just build your own

or buy the components and send it to me i'll build it

building a computer is like playing with legos

[bigdima3]

ye man, f*** dells , , ,

[gorgi991]

wow nice

[d4rksektor]

I'm not sure I like how the power supply is oriented. It's like hanging a brick above your other components.

[JordanN5253]

This is a very, very strange case..

[Omellykim]

looks like a real sharp case

[chivasgeek741]

VERY GOOD KEEP IT COMING!!!

[Gamekingdomonline]

do a give a way i need a graf card : (

[pckid1000]
