SilverStone Raven RV04 Chassis Detailed
Here are some of the first pictures of SilverStone's upcoming flagship chassis, the Raven RV04. Its styling is clearly evolutionary to the Raven RV03, with no chrome highlights, and a more curvy, "concave" front. The biggest change is on the inside, while the RV03 features a 90° clockwise-tilted motherboard tray, the RV04 uses an upside-down BTX-esque motherboard tray. Perhaps the new trend of detachable drive-bays to make room for long graphics cards caught up with SilverStone. The case supports ATX, E-ATX, and SSI-CEB motherboard form-factors.
The Raven RV04 features two 5.25-inch drive bays, seven internal 3.5-inch ones, of which two feature back-planes to enable hot-swapping; and four 2.5-inch bays. It features room for CPU coolers as tall as 165 mm, PSUs as long as 180 mm, and add-on cards as long as 337 mm, and as tall as 170 mm. Its front-panel includes two USB 3.0 ports (standard header), and audio jacks. Ventilation includes two gargantuan 180 mm front intake fans (up to 1200 RPM, up to 34 dBA), and a 120 mm rear fan. Measuring 219mm (W) x 581mm (H) x 497mm (D), the RV04 weighs about 11 kg. It's largely made of SECC steel and ABS plastic. It's available in two variants, one with the opaque side-panel (SST-RV04B), and one with an acrylic window (SST-RV04B-W). Pricing and availability will be announced on May 11.

The FT02 and FT03 remain some of the best looking cases ever made in my opinion. How could Silverstone fuck up so badly with the newest Raven and Fortress cases? :banghead:
ive never seen these cases before and raven1 looks awesome, wtf Silverstone sort ya shit out!
I'm mad Silverstone.
this mobo configuration actually its better for cooling in general, SPECIALLY if you remove that crappy designed HDD cage
Good concept > poorly executed.. Shame silverstone :shadedshu
the good ones (my TJ09 comes to mind) people just buy them and never need buy a new case ever again.
These crap ones need to be replaced often so people will actually buy more cases from them:laugh:
I really want a TJ11 for no particular reason though:slap:
i just realize it has no hole for water cooling :mad:
how come they forgot standard design like that :nutkick::nutkick:
Haven't seen anything new from Silverstone lately that would make me want to retire my FT-01 :shadedshu
you're a top tier case maker...
so start acting like it......
RV01, RV02-E, FT02, FT03. The rest of them are simply not worth considering.
C'mon, Silverstone! :shadedshu
