First Raven was a decent looking case, RV02 was a little ugly, this looks 100% pug fugly....
This case looks ugly as sin, but I bet it cools very well. Price anyone?
And why exactly does it have fans mounted in the front? The bezels look solid for a start and with those 2 massive fans sucking air in from the bottom surely they are completely unnecessary.
Totally love the Raven series. But this case? Oh hell no
Rig: P5Q Pro | E7400 | V8 | 2x2GB Ballistix Tracer | XFX HD4770 | 2x Seagate 1TB | eXtreme Power 650W | RV01 | HP 2009F
Plan to go: Epiphone SG400 | Fender T-Bucket 300CE
Notice how they seem to have installed two 4870x2's and they barely fit (at least from how the pictures look). Meaning a 5870 / GTX480 will also just fit and a 5970 is out of the question. Also, why does the plasic at the top look so cheap?
EDIT: Nope, seems like there will be enough clearance for a 12-inch card. Still, it doesn't change how fugly the case looks.
EDIT 2: For the love of God, those aren't 4870x2's, they're leftover prototype boards of the never-released 2900XTX Clickie. Epic, actually

Front looks horrid and the top looks like an old factory roof, also the drives... are they all mounted on the reverse side? How are they cooled, I'm not too keen on that location.

They ruined the Raven series with this one! Nobody wants now to make nice looking cases from the outside?
Looks like it's made from second hand plastic , at least the top part; its front looks like it's being made from cheap toy plastic.
3870x 2? FAIL
The design does look fugly, but I don't particularly mind as long as it's got some badass cooling and good functionality.
It's only a prototype anyway
Some one needs to be fired for this case/ prototype/abomination. Yeah there you go, forget Raven, Abomination is the new name.
I like the inside of the RV03, especially the PSU-placement, the rest however, did not appeal to me very much ;/.

The styling reminds me of Raidmax's chassis.
