IntroBack in 2008 Silverstone launched a new Raven RV01-case that introduced an unique layout and cooling system. After the first case they've also launched RV02 and Fortress FT02 that use similar cooling system, and now it's time for a third version of the Raven. Not surprisingly the layout is still there, but lets see what other features the case packs. |
Package & Specs
The case arrived to our test packed in a brown cardboard box with pictures and specifications of the case printed around it. The box also has carrying handles and inside the case is wrapped in plastic and covered with styrofoam, so it shouldn't suffer any shipping damage.

Looking at the specifications the first thing to catch the eye is the large number of drive bays. There are seven external 5,25" bays, six of which come with adapters to house hard drives. Beside these six 3,5" bays there are also four dedicated ones, as well as two 2,5" bays. Other things to notice are the weight, which is a kilogram lighter than the RV02, and also that the case is a bit wider and taller than its predecessor, but also a good 70 mm shorter.
Bundle
The bundle includes the usual manual, bag of screws and bunch of zip ties, as well as a power adapter for connecting three fans directly to the power supply, and also a stealthing kit for the optical drive. With these two pieces one can hide the drive behind one of the 5,25" drive bay covers in order to keep the front panel looking unified.
