Pros: Tons of room, rotated Mobo

Cons: Fan setup

Im going on 2 years now with this case and its probably one of my favorite cases that I've personally owned or worked with, mine is the limited edition White but is otherwise the exact same as the black one, the one big thing someone would want to consider before buying this is the overall length of it, if you generally put your pc up on your desk youd want to take a few measurements first as alot of desks it just wont fit on and given how Silverstone put all the front panel connections and power/reset buttons on the top I'd say they had that in mind, there is plenty of room in this case for modding and water cooling, I removed my hard drive cage in mine and moved my HDDs up to t he 5.25 bays to make room for a water cooling project, if there were any gripes with this case it would be there. The plastic they used isn't the greatest and the top panel was actually cracked slightly from the top being over tightened at the factory, not a big deal, just sealed the crack up with a little epoxy so it wouldnt spread and its good to go, the crack is hidden and not visible unless you remove the top shroud anyway. My only other complaint and this is apparently a ongoing problem is the AP181s in the bottom of the case arent very happy being in a horizontal position, this is compounded by the fan filter setup needing a little more thought as sometimes the blades will drop down slightly on the shaft hitting the fan filter assembly and it will make a awful ticking noise for a few minutes until the fans warm up. I went a little overboard and used some ABS plastic to cut a perfect spacer to raise the fan up 1/16 of an inch and it solved the problem completely, washers could work also but you would allow air to sneak in around the base of the fan. Overall, those 2 shortcomings wouldnt deter me from buying this case again, Absolutely love it!!

Description:

The RAVEN RV02-E is an evolution of the original RV02 case that aims to provide even more accessible performance and utility. Making a debut for the first time in a tower chassis, SilverStone’s own "Air Penetrator" 180mm fans are included in the RV02-E for improved air intake efficiency and flexibility. The fan frame of the Air Penetrator fans provide enough fan blade protection and increased air focusing ability that they no longer require installation of fan grille. Hot-swappable hard drive cage was also implemented to facilitate installation at the expense of losing the 8th expansion slot. However, all other features are intact such as fully filtered intake system, 90 degree motherboard mounting, all black interior, liquid cooling support, and fan speed switches. For enthusiasts not looking to use more than two or three graphics cards, the RV02-E should be a great alternative to the fantastic original RV02.
