What case is best for you depends on the purpose you have for it. If you want a silent case, you might be willing to sacrifice some of the cooling performance. On the other hand you might tolerate a bit more noise when you are building a heavy system th...

AeroCool StrikeX Cube Case Review →
Could do with a better cable management system, Will be an acquired taste
The performance of the RV05 was expected to be exceptional and I have to say I was not let down at all. The unique layout and general design of the case is geared towards allowing for the best airflow possible and plays on the fact that heat rises, which ...

Great build quality, Room for large graphics cards, High-quality fans pre-installed, Extensive dust filters pre-installed, Slot-loading drive bay is a welcome solution to the removal of 5.25″ drive bays (removed to make chassis smaller), Competitive price

PricingAt around £80 from Overclockers.co.uk the Silverstone RV05-BW is obviously still an expensive product, but compared to the launch prices of previous Raven series chassis it's actually pretty cheap, and it's also very competitive against rival offer...
Most affordable Raven to date, Very good outthebox performance, Fan controller keeps fans running quiet, Offers something a little different to the norm
Looks are an acquired taste, Long PSUs obstruct 3.5in drive cage, Cable management is tricky
SilverStone's big-and-bulky Raven began life as a somewhat unusual PC enclosure aimed squarely at high-level enthusiasts. Realising that the premium end of the market may be drying up, the new RV05 takes the stack-effect formula and makes it more accessi...
Silverstone has created an excellent, and in case you are not familiar with the Silverstone Raven lineup, a rather different product The Raven RV05 is characterized by an aggressive design and uses a sophisticated and excellent cooling solution The build...

Enhanced Cooling Performance Due to Inverted Design, Unique Design Stands Out, ToolFree and Modular
Limited Custom Water Cooling Loop Support, Removing HDD Cage Deletes 3.5 inch HDD Mounting Options, 180mm AP Fans Are Married to This Case for the Most Part
The Silverstone RV05 is a slight shift in traditional "Raven Series" case design. Instead of boasting a large cavernous interior, designers focused on a slimmed down chassis as well as form and function, leaving out often unused 5.25" and 3.5" drive bays...

The Raven R05B-W is the first PC case we've received by SilverStone and although some of us have used some of their cases in the past well it's simply not the same (we pay much more attention when we review something). Anyways the Raven R05B-W...
Two of the screws holding front panel on are on bottom side of the case, 8-Pin CPU power must be forced through gap around right side of the mobo, Needs more wire management space on backside when SSD mounts are used, The removable Hard Dive bay requires
Optical drive support is a hard-to-find slot loading slim drive (See Pros), Two of the screws holding front panel on are on bottom side of the case, 8-Pin CPU power must be forced through gap around right side of the mobo, Needs more wire management space
With each revision of the Raven come improvements that help make it a winner. It has a clean, dark look, that could even be described as “Batman-esque”. The fit and finish was excellent (including the satin black paint). While it was very roomy inside, th...

Behind the striking design of the Raven RV05 is outstanding performance from great thermal design.The combination of high air pressure from the dual 180mm bottom fans and the 90° motherboard layout creates a great thermal situation for graphics and coolin...

Extremely long PSUs will not fit without sacrificing the HDD cage, Can only hold 4 HDDs, Very few points to secure loose cable on the motherboard tray, Top cover needs to be removed to reach fan controllers, Side panels may be hard to take off, Window wit
