    The trimmings are pretty ugly IMHO

    Blingness - Still the fractal R3 or the FT02 for me.
    Society's to blame,
    Or possibly Atari.

    My first thought was 'Cylon'.

    Re: News - SilverStone unveils RAVEN RV03 chassis

    My first thoughts were 'WHY'

    This looks like nothing new from the Raven series. If anything it looks like a step back.

    Wheres the rubber overlays on the motherboard cable holes we are getting used to.

    Same problem with the previous one, more air being push in from the bottom than is being exhausted from the top. This design was funky first time round, not very successful second time round and now third time round looks like nothing has changed.

    Why Silverstone did you bother.

    How about a replacement to the TJ07 instead. This is need of modernising.

    I think they already did - the Temjin TJ11:

    bit-tech.net published a review of it the other day but apparently I'm not allowed to post links yet.

    Wowsers !

    "it is expected to retail 'somewhere just below [SilverStone's] most expensive case ever sold ($699)'. "

    Bet theres a high price tag for it though. In this economy I don't think my budget will stretch to buy that.

    Yeah unfortunately the price of the TJ11 is a ludicrous £475

    I plan on getting the Silverstone Fortress FT02 for my next build.

    Can't help but think this case is actually a step-down/backwards from the much better designed Silverstone Raven 2 RV02B-EW Evolution that can be picked up for under £120 ...

    That is one crazy price. Oh well, may as well forget about that case. Stick to my lancool K62

    The Evolution has 3 bottom mounted fans and a better hard drive bay (which was the major drawback of the original Raven 2) - also doesn't have the PSU mounted on the front, which seems like one of the craziest ideas EVER. Plus doesn't have the Gold go-faster stripes at the front.
