SilverStone Raven RV05 Rotated Computer Chase Review @ [H]

I have been a huge fan of the Raven series since the introduction of the Raven 1 back in the day.  Since then they have released four different versions of the case with the Raven 2 being one of the most popular.

The Raven 5 uses the same rotated motherboard layout so the cables and heat exit out the top but removes the external 5.25" drive bays and attempts to make the case smaller and more compact.  When I saw this case at CES I was a little shocked at the design direction but realized that the Raven series isn't about keeping with tradition but rather exploring the possibilities.

Lets hope it pays off.

The SilverStone Raven series of cases long ago broke the mold when it comes to "normal" computer chassis. Its design execution has always been good and the Ravens' airflow characteristics are excellent. Today SilverStone pushes the new Raven RV05 out there a little bit further in terms of design and function.

Be sure to read the editor notes at the end of the review, For once both Kyle and I are in full agreement.
