The Silverstone RV01 Thread

[Chris_redfield]

I like this case (as you pointed out it reminds me of the tumbler.)

I like the Silverstone are trying something different as well by mounting the motherboard tray like that. With regards to an aircooled system seeing as hot air rises it makes perfectly good sense to do it. However with dual slot coolers now issued with most of the more powerful cards that ejects the hot air straight out of the rear of the case anyway I am curious as to whether or not mounting the hardware this way would actually lower temperatures by that much.

Maybe there will not be such a need for high fan speeds in order to keep temperatures lower.

I would definately consider one of these if the price was right though.

In some strange way I like the look of this case!

If I was a young lad around ten, I would buy this case in a heartbeat!

It looks good to me, I would like to see just how effective the new mobo layout is, and how it fare in cooling tests against my HAF 932.

How much does that thing cost. And what kinda cooling does it have.

From vr-zone.com site
Silverstone is going to do a launch on their upcoming Raven RV01 case in China on the 18th of November in line with the Intel Core i7 official launch and is expected to retail at US$179 (price varies in different countries)

The only thing new in this case is motherboard tray orientation, which helps A LOT but only if you are using AirCooling, this case is a waste of money if you want to set up a good watercooling.

If they redesign the case a bit, maybe this......

Move the mobo towards the front a good 4 inches.

Thin out the area between the PSU and the mobo. That metal plate is too big.

Put 3 120mm or 3 140mm fan holes in the back. Instant internal triple rad.

Most of you guys would jump at this in half a minute.

I have actually been looking at this case and with the back there is a Panel that can be removed and looky there space for a 3x120 rad. If you still using IDE (dont know why) you either have to find the mother of all IDE cables because your going to be just a bit short or UPGRADE it costs what $20 for a disk drive. I looked at a review someone had and they were very thorough and completely took it apart. He got temps that were about 10* cooler. Some cables that had to be routed behind the mother board before like the power connector for the mobo tray you dont have to just bring them up from the psu section and the GPU power connectors. The inside of the case is actually Painted Black so it isnt the regular steel color like all the other cases. On the top there is 7cm of space for connectors to your video cards like for your monitor. But if you have to use dongles you have to upgrade or leave the top cover off.
