SILVERSTONE RAVEN RV02-BW Matte black Computer Case With Side Panel Window

Overall this case is unreal. It's by far the best case I've ever owned and I've had a few (a dozen easy). That being said make sure this is the case for you as a 90 degree turn of the motherboard puts you in a whole new area for building. I've got SLI'd GTS 250s and they fit easy. I've also got a Corsair 750W professional series power supply without any room issues. The only frustration I had when building this is 1: The 5.25" tool-less design is poor, it's just a switch on each one that only provides small metal rods on one side to hold your drive in place. This isn't a huge deal as it's easy to slap two screws on the far side but does kind of render the whole "Tool-less" aspect of the drives useless. 2: They needed to have a little more room behind the motherboard for cable management, it would have been nice to see maybe 2 inches of clearance left as you want to get maximum airflow from the 3 180mm fans pulling air in from the bottom of the case, and to do so you don't want any cables flopping around.My final thoughts on the case are that I would highly recommend it to someone who wants something different and easy to work with as well as a great deal of airflow. It's price is decent for what you get and I like the back-side mount for SSDs, that was a very nice touch by Silverstone. All in all a great case, beware that this baby is long though :)

I bought this case for my new i5 build and I love it. Installing everything was very simple and the instruction included were very clear. The design is just good. the I/O on the top make putting my PC in a corner no real problem and the built int filters have kept my PC running cool for a long time now. The 3 fans on the bottom of the case have dedicated controls which I was pleasantly surprised to see, The fans make little noise when set to high and are whisper quiet when set to low.The only thing that I don't like about the case is the lack of storage space for extra cables, which makes the case a bit messier around the PSU area. There is little to no space behind the motherboard to store cables.Another gripe I have is the position of the HDD cage. The HDDs are installed into a cage suspended on rubber grommets to eliminate noise. This works, but to install or remove an HDD you have to remove the cagewhich will be blocked my a larger GFX card (in my case a 5870). This means you have to remove your GFX card whenever you go to work on your hard drives. Despite these drawback this case is excellent. I have never bought a better designed case and I look forward to revision 3 of the raven

This is a full tower case with decent amount of room to work with. Its got great airflow but yet quiet. Turning the motherboard 90degrees is every innovative and efficient. Price is also acceptable. Its a awesome case

Unique and also a very cool looking case. Very Good cable management compare to my old Antec 300 case. Air flow is simply awesome. Only negative thing i can think of is that this case is not friendly to Gigabyte's P55 motherboards. It is kind of impossible to connect the front panel audio to the board. Other than that, I would highly recommend this case to anyone.
