Zitat: Pro: + Greit støynivå + Gode muligheter for vannkjøling + Spennende med vinklet hovedkort Contra: - Litt mye plastikk? - Mangler fritt hovedkortbrett - Mangler litt ytelse

Zitat: The laws of thermodynamics aren´t enough - the Raven needs to be bolder.

Zitat: Pros: + Exceptional design + High build quality + Quality black interior finish + Top cable connections + Easy filter maintenance + Server-like HD bays + Unique Tool-less drive cage + Superior cooling features + Front extension ports + Excellent cable management + Support for all watercooling options Cons: - Front SemiAuto Bay Cover a bit slow - Only one hotswap adapter included - My cat can power on/off system The new Silverstone Raven RV01 is not only an impressive addition to this new line of products, but one that blends in well and manages to maintain that high level of quality and focus on design that the company is respected for. Regardless of setup, the RV01 has you covered, right down to custom builds that include all third-party watercooling products. I´ve followed this case from the start and while some popular websites have made some childish comments on it when they have not even taken the opportunity to even see one first-hand, I would strongly beg to differ and make it clear that this is an excellent enclosure you should strongly consider for your high-end hardware. Highly Recommended!

Zitat: Good Things: + Very strong steel and plastic construction. + Very sleek and unique case form + Incredible Stacked Effect Cooling system + Very well thought out interior design + More efficient air cooling design + The automated sliding front door Bad Things: - The automated grinding gear sound from the front door - Finger print removal is horrible - The hard drive area for running cables and closing the door is just ridiculous The SilverStone RV01 Raven Case is one of the most over engineered case that we can think of and is really a marvel of a case to look at and is an industry first on several levels. For instance this is the first case that SilverStone has built using materials other than aluminum. The outer plastic panels borrow much of their styling from the stealth bomber and completely encase the chassis giving it a sleek mean look. The Stacked Effect Cooling is just really an overall cool idea that amazes us that no other case maker has thought of it before. Turning the motherboard tray 90-degrees so that the heatsinks and cooling fans work more efficiently is just genius. The process does make the case considerably larger than most but the benefits speak for themselves. The SilverStone RV01 Raven is just really an incredible case to look at and use but still it is not without faults, one of the joys of being a first in the industry. There is one ugly issue that it cannot hide from anyone, guests and owners alike and this horrible problem is fingerprints that just do not wipe off. This is usually not a big deal, but this case very difficult to clean without making some serious work. Of course this issue is more cosmetic than anything and most people will just deal with it. Another sore spot is the hard drive area. The placement of the fan shroud in relation to the drive cage makes it a real pain to run cables and in some cases requires two people to properly close up the case. You see the door get real close to the drives and makes it feel like the cable are going to be bent and snap off the SATA connectors. At the end of the day the drive area is an ugly spot, but once it is done you just hope you never have to open the back side of your case again. The SilverStone RV01 Raven is one of the coolest looking cases around and is just full of incredible ideas and don’t let the hard drive issue hold you back from buying one especially if you only use a single drive. Simply use the hot swap bay and move on.
