Top 5.25” drive bay could be very difficult to use with SATA optical drives due to restricted space caused by the I/O bays.

Two additional USB connections at the front top of the case would have been nice to see since have to remove the cover each time you want to plug in another removable device would become tedious and well annoying
Would have been nice if they kept the case height the same as the Raven RV01 which would allow for easier installation of the triple radiator as it would add more clearance for those v
The SilverStone Raven Two continues in the path forged by its predecessor, with some interesting changes, both positive and not so positive. For cooling of hot systems with minimal noise, the Raven Two is SPCR's new champ, by a small but clearly measu...

It’s very rare to deal with a product as well thought out as the Silverstone Raven 02. After spending a couple weeks with this case we have nothing negative to report. We feel strongly about recommending this case to any member of the enthusiast mark...
We were excited to see the new Raven, as it looked like a huge step forward from the original design. With the three 180mm intake fans running practically the whole length of the floor of the case, and the vertical installation of the expansion cards, ...

What can we say that hasn’t already been stated? This case is simply amazing. We’ve had some people around the office say that this thing is just too much, but when asked if they would use the case they wouldn’t hesitate to get one for themselves. So ...
Abstract: The Raven RV02 was one of the easiest cases we’ve worked with recently. Its thoughtful features and potential for expandability, as well as its fair price, make the RV02 a great case for almost any build.
Abstract: SilverStone -- or any case manufacturer -- has finally done it... It has been two years since the introduction of the Temjin TJ10 (or three years since the nearly identical TJ09), but finally if we had to pick between the Temjin TJ10 or the Raven RV02...
The Raven RV02 continues SilverStone's tradition of solid well engineered cases. To be quite honest, it's hard to know what to say about the Raven 2 chassis, that you have not most likely already figured out for yourself. There is no point in me...
Abstract: Video Review: Feature rich and very innovative is the best way to describe the SilverStone Raven RV02 Case. This case is up there with the best cases on the market. It has lots of drive bays, plenty of room to work, cable management holes, 4 fans, fits a 3x120mm radiator and much more.
SilverStone has taken the design innovation of the RV-01 and improved it with their Raven 2 case. The construction and installation of computer components in this case is easy and the case is fully featured. The Raven 2 does not have external SATA or F...

The Silverstone RV02 Raven2 is a perfect example of what can happen when you refine a good idea into a great one. The RV01 was an extremely large case designed to accommodate just about anything. The chassis also showed what could be done using Sta...
