Silverstone Raven RV02 Evolution Limited Edition White

[Stryker64]

Yet another cases manufacturer is hopping onto the white case bandwagon, this time it's Silverstone with a limited edition of their Raven RV02 Evolution. Not sure about you guys, but I think the Raven all white is actually a nice looking case, compared to the normal black one which I found a bit ugly.

Great thing about these white cases, it's one of the few colours that Noctua fans look at home with.

I find the case itself butt ugly ..

if they made a white raven rv01 then I would buy it in a heartbeat, why dont they have a stainless steel greyish colour, that would sell

I'm a total sucker for matte white xD

I actually like the look of this one. Easily my favorite white case.

i quite like it myself really starting to get into these white cases

Its a good looking case. I am considering a white theme build in the future however I was wondering if white cases are prone to yellowing over time.

I will be getting the rv01. The looks are just magnificent in my humble opinion.

If it's a high quality paint job, and as long as you don't spill coke on it, I would think they remain nice and white.

Hdaviator don't get the rvo1 please for the love of god don't be sucked in like I was, it's huge it heavy and the cable management is pathetic I had to drill holes... Although the airflow is really good with the noctua I get very good temps but any other case can be good just honestly think about it before you buy it, yes I fell in love with the look of the rv01 too bit now I realize I should of just got a phantom or a venom colossus thing

Thanks for the warning. Haven't bought it yet, maybe I won't. I still think its one of the best looking cases. Unfortunetaly the colossus is not out in the U.S.

the Colossus is terrible when it comes to airflow though

You can't tell in this photo, but there is a mesh cover for the top of the case, and a cut out at the back to allow all the cables to pass through, the main problem with the design is if you need to use an active display port adapter for Eyefinity it wouldn't fit under the mesh.

Other then that, this case is super cool looking. What sort of effects does the sort of sideways mobo orientation have on cable management? I've never really built in that sort of oriented case. Sort of upside down and backwards lol. But I really do like the looks of this.

The largest problem is GPU power cables. 5.25 bay cables are a little tricky to hide aswell.

You mean PCI-E power? How would that be a problem?

If you look at the pictures there are a lot of cable management holes where they are needed, so I don't see how it should be tricky with those well placed cutouts.
