    Bit of a late review for this case considering everyone else covered it months ago.

    Can be had from Scan at £90 from time to time on a daily special offer but still not worth it. Case is too bulky and has too many flaws. Alot of metal for your money though.

    My god There is a huge air intake for the PSU at the back of the case
    and the author complains that if you position the PSU backwards (so it
    sucks in hot air from the CPU heatsink - brilliant idea sir) the velcro strip
    obstructs the airflow...

    I have some serious doubts about the author's competence.

    Take care,
    Jiri

    I love this case because dont have the STUPID IDIOT Silly and USELESS Toolessdesign , what is the problem to turn a screw every two or three years to swap a video card ? , only the reviewers love and need the STUPID toolessdesign because the reviewers swap all the hardware every day , but the case makers dont need to care about the opinion of the reviewers because the reviewers are just a small amount of hardware users that newer buy hardware ( they get the hardware for free ) therefore their opinion about hardware is useless

    My Lian Li case has a removable motherboard tray and I never took it out. The idea is ok if the case is small and no room to work in but on large cases, inc the Raven, I think the idea is pointless.
