Thread Starter 
Which case is better ?

performance ?
Noise ?

my initial thought was that the RV03 being the newest.
but from searches around the net. it would seem that the RV02-E is actually performing better.

The RV02-E offers the better cooling performance and difference in noise will just be due to the RV02-E having 3 180mm fans compared to 2 in the RV03. Only reason I would choose the RV03 is if you prefer the looks or the smaller size.

RV02-E is a better performing case. the RV03 has too many leakage points for air to flow out of the case where it's not supposed to. you want to have a case that allows air to flow out of the case where cooling is needed. it's no use to have cool air leak out of the case before it has time to do its job.

The RV03 has huge advantages in modern features and cable management.
