Wow, indeed.

Nevertheless a nice case

build looks great Chaos. how are you finding it now you have spent some time with it. Was all my harping on about how great the case is, worth the money for you at the end of the day?

Chaos · Nov 17, 2009, 08:59 PM

for the money I cant complain, it is a very solid case for sure. the layout takes getting used to but it performs very well

Judas · Nov 17, 2009, 09:26 PM

ok that is an awesome looking case after taking a look at it again...

i mean it feels tight looking for my liking... but roomy yet

IMO a bit tight with the cables against the hardrive and 2nd pci-ex card.....

looks like it might be a heat issue with 3 or 4 cards in there or a nightmare with 2x HDxxxx-X2's

Zardon · Nov 17, 2009, 09:34 PM

utter nonsense on all points. ive two 12 inch 5970s running in Crossfire X in one of them right now, have had for a week or so....

DJ BIG T · Nov 17, 2009, 09:37 PM

very nice case..

i don't have the case.. so it's hard to tell by pictures...

Well its not really "my word' - I don't understand how such a dedicated forum regular as yourself would miss our review and all my comments on the forums for the last 2 months. You are aware that this case has three 18cm fans under all the components forcing cool air directly up in a vertical flow. In a 'standard' case you have air coming in the front of the chassis, normally about 20 centimeters away from the graphics cards - rv02 has a complete horizontal width flow of air about 3 cm's away from big cards like the X2 or 5970 - you really can't get better air flow, especially as it is not even having to get past hard drives in front of it.

Its a stunningly good case for air flow and it was just bizarre to read your comments on this when clearly you haven't been reading up on it at all.

When you get one let me know what you think.

Bolletje · Nov 17, 2009, 10:02 PM

Wow, so I was looking for some more info when I saw that the 'original' Raven is like 170 euro while the RV2 is 130.

Is there a big difference between the two?

Yes the RV2 is 40 less and about twice as good. no brainer. check our reviews out on both.

Hmm, I think I have missed the RV01 review... ;O

The Raven 2 is a really nice case. Maybe I will upgrade, but the 'inside' components like CPU, graphics card and motherboard have a higher priority.

And for the members who have the case: keep posting some pictures! I like them :d

Chaos · Nov 17, 2009, 10:38 PM

i am happy i ditched the other beast I had, even though it treated me well it was just a mess compared to this one.

I've missed a number of reviews, simply due to any number of reasons including being busy, quickly skimming the forums.

And at the time, i wasn't really looking at replaceing the coolermaster cosmos so i wasn't exactly interested..

i barely gave the corsair case at the time, a good look.

I did however check the review earlier (kept getting interupted) but i see now it's 18cm fans, that's amazingly huge... i should be more then happy with it.
