SilverStone RV03

Zitat: Pro: + Excellent air-cooled performance + Shorter than its predecessors + Well laid out interior + It´s something different + Competitive pricing Con: - Looks are an acquired taste - Cumbersome front storage bays - Requires specific components for optimum use If you can stomach the Raven RV03´s exterior aesthetics, there´s a lot to like about SilverStone´s unorthodox design. Proving to be a positive step up from the well-received RV02, this third-generation model offers a reorganised interior that facilitates a greater number of storage bays, a wider variety of cooling configurations and more efficient cable management. Better still, it does all that at a lower price point. For a fraction below £100, the RV03 offers class-leading performance and a well-stocked feature list. Traditional builders may prefer the familiarity of a Cooler Master HAF 932 or the sophistication of Corsair´s Obsidian 650D, but if you´re looking for something different, SilverStone´s Raven could well be it. Bottom line: Few sub-£100 chassis offer this level of performance and functionality. Get past the looks, and you´ll find the Raven RV03 is well worthy of consideration for a high-end gaming rig.

Zitat: The RV03 is an interesting development of the Raven line of cases. The internal changes have brought a few advantages, such as easy cable routeing and a more compact size. However, the six empty fan mounts conflict with the default floor-to-roof cooling arrangement and effectively undermine it. While they offer flexibility, they also allow too much sound to escape and necessitate the complex arrangement with the front fascia blanking plates, adding unnecessary cost.
