    Repost, and it's ugly. First Raven was better (but still pretty bad). Silverstone, stop this malarky, and get back to good design.

    I like this one better than the original actually. Closer to the classic Silverstone design than the original Raven, and without that stupid door over the 5.25" bays.

    Now, if they could design one that more or less mimmicked the exterior of the TJ series they might have a winner.

    Yeh obviously there are nicer cases out there (and I am a TJ07 fan), but I do really like the layout of the interior, really neat and awesome

    Yeh I saw the FT02 as well, that looks pretty cool too, just not as spacious as the raven.

    Sorry for the repost lol.

    So the first Raven was upside down ATX, and now they have... upside down and backwards ATX. Bravo, Silverstone.

    I have a couple negatives for this case...

    First, it looks like you don't have much room behind your 5.25" drives if you have an SLI setup...

    Second, the fans in the bottom could have been placed MUCH better. The one in front is 70% covered by a needless piece of metal in the drive cage.

    Third, your cables now have to all pass over your CPU Exhaust fan...

    Fourth, and most importantly, what in the HELL is up with that PSU form factor ?! Are we not allowed to use a standard PSU in this case ?!

    interesting case design, it does make sense having 4 fans at the bottom and top vents for fast heat extraction. And a lot of room for cable management

    Are they still using plastic on the outside? i though that was the major turn off in the raven 1

    I like it, its not bad. I like to see variety from companies, not just the same old thing. It helps spawn new creative ideas that benefit the new and the old ways. I love silverstone though, and their wire managment capabilities are always the best in the nicer cases.
    This cosmic dance of bursting decadence and withheld permissions, twists all our arms collectively, but if sweetness can win, and it can, then I'll still be here tomorrow to high-five you yesterday, my friend. Peace.

    I don't mind it, I think if they cable managed it better and with some LEDs it would look very nice.

    Why doesn't the cut out line up. I seen this on numerous cases and find it to be annoying and poor workmanship also.
