Low price for a Raven case, Massive bottom-mounted fans make for excellent, quiet cooling, Supports multiple large graphics cards
No external drive bays, Room for only two 3.5-inch hard drives, Requires a slot-loading slim optical drive, Cable routing can be tricky, Build quality modest in places

The Raven RV05's stack layout offers effective cooling performance and convenient I/O placement at a competitive price ($115).
For an upperend case aimed at enthusiasts/gamers, it has some unfortunate limitations when it comes to storage and power.
Attractive, sleek exterior, Strong cable management despite minimalist design, Good cooling performance, No wasted space, high flexibility, Easily removable bottom and PSU filters.
Included cooling options are not as extensive as some competitors (but they are of much higher quality).
The SilverStone Raven RV05 is a worthy design to take up the mantle of the Raven series. With a clean, attractive exterior complemented by a sturdy, well built interior, it's difficult to find fault with the RV05. SilverStone has made the effort to pay at...
