bit-tech published a first look at the SilverStone Raven RV01 chassis

The odd thing about the Raven is that it doesn't even show off its innovation very well. The side window is modest, and not positioned well to show off your 'crazy', vertically aligned expansion cards. Given that this is an interesting and key innovation of the case, it's rather odd that the window doesn't make more of a big deal of the vertical card arrangement.

The problem could be that the case isn't long enough, but it could do with being a bit longer anyway to allow better cable routing. And it's not as if this isn't a big, iconic, good-looking case -- we won't begrudge it taking up a little more desk space. We'll have to wait to see just how cool the unusual orientation of the expansion cards keeps hot PC hardware, but we welcome your thoughts from this initial look on the comments below.
