SilverStone Announces the Raven RV01 Chassis, Expect it Next Month
Taiwan's SilverStone Technology has today announced that its big-tower Raven RV01 chassis will be available starting next month at a suggested retail price of €159 + VAT. The case has existed for a fairly long time, but until now it has been a protype. We have covered the design ideas inside the Raven here, but it's worth mentioning some of them again. One thing is for sure, when you first look inside the case you won't see anything familiar. The case is split into different compartments, and the motherboard is angled 90 degrees pointing upwards instead of out the back. This way the chassis which measures 280mm x 616mm x 660mm and weighs 15kg, will push air in parallel from bottom to top. Silverstone engineers also state that the case is suited for quiet operating PCs. In addition, the high-end chassis features a built-in cable management system, five push-button 5.25-inch drive bays, six removable 3.5-inch drive bays, easy-access top-mounted I/O ports, and pre-drilled holes for water-cooling.

Don't like that idea, apart from that looks nice
Oh well, eye of the beholder and all that,....
Air probably gets to the HDD through a side fan (not shown) or perhaps a front mounted fan,...? Maybe from the bottom?
Cable management on the top of the case wont be easy, or pretty,...
Now im wondering though, i saw the tube holes n im assuming dats on top, but where r we to place the rads at?
Looks aggressive and high tech.
