Looks pretty nice? [img]http://d2k5.com/sa_emots/emot-barf.gif[/img]
[QUOTE=Pandamobile;15558612] I bought it back in 2006 for $60 CAD and it's still holding up. Looks really bad, pretty roomy, but it's getting replaced by a HAF 932 in a couple weeks. [/QUOTE] I fixed it for you.

[QUOTE=Quantuam VTX;15558169]Thermal Take Speedo [img]http://blog.800hightech.com/wp-content/uploads/thermaltake-spedo-case.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] I think it looks nice.
Oh shit. [img]http://images.bit-tech.net/news_images/2008/11/silverstone-big-tower-raven-rv01-with-stack-effect-cooling/Big-Tower-Raven-RV01.jpg[/img] I just came. No seriously, I ordered this badass, and it's main feature is a 90° rotated motherboard for the stack effect. Did I mention it has 2 180mm Fans blowing air up from the bottom, through all your components and then make it have a quiet exit? Sweet.
So you plug all the plugs in at the top? fantastic...

it's a cool idea, shame it will look fucking retarded to have a bunch of cables stick out of the top of your PC
[QUOTE=Thorgal;15560442]Raven by SilverStone.[/QUOTE] Where does the PSU go? or am i blind?
I don't think that having the mobo rotated is a very good idea; you've got that big open grate at the top, as well as all those ports. What if you accidentally spill something into there? I don't know about you but I'd ragequit if that happened.

[QUOTE=Prismatex;15557544] 940BW represent. [img]http://d2k5.com/sa_emots/emot-respek.gif[/img][/QUOTE] Hell yeah dude, it was totally worth the $250 2 (or 3 can't remember) years ago, and still runs as brand new.
Mine's about two and a half years old. You know what? Let's have sex since we have the same monitor.
[QUOTE=Zorlok;15564045]I don't like how it's rotated.[/QUOTE] I like the design of the case. I'd buy it if it was not rotated.
I'm a bit iffy on the exterior of the case. Some of those angles and vents are a bit odd...but the interior doesn't look half bad. [editline]10:53PM[/editline] I still don't get what they're trying to pull with the rotation though. Reaperninja is right, it would look really stupid with all the cords and whatnot sticking out of the top.
You won't see the cords, since it's has a cover, that you can slide on. Also, the rotation is the key feature. Normally the GPU would be placed horizontally, blocking the "Natural" ariflow (heat rises), by rotating the MoBo, the GPU's won't block the Stack effect, and will get overall better cooling. And @ Jhsarpe - You are blind, it has a huge space for the PSU at the bottom. You can easily cram a big PSU in there and still have a good amount of room left. I don't see why you guys hate the rotated Mobo, all it does is enchance your cooling a good chunk, and there is no difference performance wise. You will need some longer cables then the standard ones if you want everything to be tidy, but other then that it's a great case. And the design, it's a love or hate it look, and personally, I've never been more in love with something.
My components still remain perfectly cool, whether the heat is being forced upward or not. That's a moot point.

Though i like the case. not the motherboard design, like others say.

[QUOTE=evilking1;15575070][img]http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/Articles/Sources/Sansun_BatCase/images/Logos/Bat.jpg[/img] Mine is blue[/QUOTE] I thought Batman was cooler than that.
[img]http://www.devicedaily.com/wp-content/gallery/8/silverstone-raven-rv01-case-computer.jpg[/img] The psu is at the bottom, and the PSU wire is also there, the rest of the wiring exits at the top.
So what if it has a cover, you still have a bunch of stupid looking wires sticking out of the top
It's at the back, and as far as I'm aware there is always a bunch of "Stupid wiring" coming out of the back of a Case. Or is your desktop completely wireless? Wireless monitor, wireless speakers, wirelesss psu,... ? I'm not sure what your trying to say reapaninja.

It's ugly.
I'm ordering this case with my computer: [b]Antec 900[/b] [img]http://images17.newegg.com/is/image/newegg/11-129-021-S01?$S180W$[/img]
[B]Lian Li PC-P50[/B] - What the Antec 900 should have been. It's got some really nice features and of course the build quality is great. [img]http://imgkk.com/i/ZWLLC2rC.jpg[/img] [img]http://imgkk.com/i/zz2MMzcZ.jpg[/img]
Does anyone know if these are on sale in the UK yet? I can't find a seller anywhere...
