Conclusion
PCWizKid was impressed with the Raven RV02 overall aesthetics, functionality and airflow performance. The ability to put in multiple large video cards other enthusiast hardware components for the overall value is terrific. The custom cooling demonstrates how Silverstone is targeting the enthusiast that wants a high-quality high-end full-tower case with detail and quality craftsmanship in mind. Though the 90 degree layout of the motherboard is different and may seem unorthodox, it makes sense, heat rises so why not have a case that follows the flow. Also the anti vibration qualities of the hard drive cage's suspension system is a awesome feature. PCWizKid give the Raven RV02 a Editor's Choice Award.
