1 640gb aaks
asus dvdrw
the pic was initial result.. took like 30 mins
a lot more to do
the dvdrw temp left it at the lowest drive bay
reasoning is the sata cable too short so will be buying some longer ones later
hx1000 mainly because the modular cables are rounded and thin and black
really made a difference with the pcie cables and hdd sata
i have a op1000 and da1200.. definately not for this casing
finally mounted cpu with ic diamond, checked the spread, beautiful but pea size was too much, cleaned and used rice size second time

just found one super con
my nb temps just rocket by 10C.
gc and cpu is ok .. 2-3C more than open bench
Looks good so far. Awesome job and this case has really made me think I may end up buying it.

Too bad this case have no watercooling in mind. Also it's too plasticky for my taste.

Watercooled
the back plate has tubing holes
and the back cover can remove and is provided with rad hooks.
so no idea y u said it isnt?? unless u mean in the casing rad.
one thing i do agree with that statement is this case needs more airflow when watercooling option is used
theres a lot of dead spots with no air movement at all
been working on it.
its either i flood my board with heatsinks and individual cooling
or get a full coverage waterblock.
can you tell where the main deadspots are?
can you please give me a measurement of the back of the case from the top of the PSU cage to to top of the computer?
would a quad 120mm water cooling radiator fit at the back of the computer above the power supply.
it doesnt look like a dvi->vga adapter would work with the cover attached to the top, would it?
the adapter and cable im using right now sticks 5" out from the back of my computer.

It's different thats for sure, but way to much plastic in it for me. Would like to see another model with the 90degree turn with more traditional aluminum case.
the hr-03 gtx needs like 1mm sanding to become flat
more plastic

my rv01.......
I'm finished building, If you pick the raven up you won't be disappointed. It's quiet and it's in the top when it comes to cooling. Not just looks, it delivers too

Awesome thanks for sharing that. Looks great and it really makes me want to go get one.

Awesome thread!
Love the pictures, hope to see more on watercooling as I just purchased this futuristic case!
Start the build this weekend, thanks so much for the heads up on pre deliverying the left side wiring before dropping the mobo into case.
Good to see RnD in SilverStone is moving forward with new concepts! Other fabricators will soon wish they had the patent.
cheers from the desert,
