Introduction
I would like to thank
SilverStone for supplying the review sample.
Silverstone has been pushing their sub-brand "Raven" as the choice for gamers for some time now. With the whole topic of Steam-powered gaming in the living room gaining momentum, the company has now released the Raven RVZ01 we have for review today, and its aim is to be a compact chassis with the right balance between potent hardware, space, and cooling. Sporting the same cool design as the RV04 but in a much much smaller form factor, this review will show whether Silverstone managed to walk the fine line with the Raven RVZ01 where others have failed.

Packaging
The Silverstone Raven RVZ01 ships in a compact, fully colored cardboard package with an image of the chassis on the front and details on the RVZ01's specifications on both sides.
Two sturdy Styrofoam spacers hold this case in place, and a black cloth bag protects it from fingerprints and scratches.
