Silverstone Raven RV01 - A Closer Look

A closer look at this interesting new case from Silverstone, and disassembly of most of its outer shell.

The 90 degree motherboard mounting really helps keep things nice and cool.

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

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

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

this case look AMAZING...if you ask me

[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

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.

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

[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
