My impressions so far, this case still needs some work, nothing much a little fine tuning. You have to see the raven in real to get it's beauty. Plastic has never looked this good and I am in love with the 90 degree turn of the mobo.
First problems you are going to encounter is that most of your cables are too short, like the one for my areca display, solved that by cutting and soldering an extension.
I hate these jobs
You get only one hotswap connection, I had ordered 6 of them and put them in. Guess what, cables are short too but I copied what I saw in a review. The hotswap bays are rather nice and work good. This can't be said for the rockers, removed those and used old school screws. This side is still a big mess.
pic of the front, the lower 3 bays are for the ssd's, still waiting for the them to arrive.
the 180mm fans are huge!!
Here you can see the main problem, it's ato get the wires left of the mobo from the back. They should move the mounting of the mobo 5-10mm to the right. I took real care to have all the wires there before putting the mobo in but you always forget something or want to change some wires. I ended up taking it out three times and I'm afraid I have to do it again tomorrow cause I want a sensor in the space where the areca is jammed.
This is how far I got today
Think I solved the audio connector nice, didn't want to run it over the mobo. It was a
topshot
Normally I would have been pissed after a day like this but this case has something special, I like
