Hard drive cage
Hard drive cage held in place with 8 screws
No hotswap drive option
Might have liked aluminum accent parts
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
Everything about the Raven RV-02 chassis is simply awesome. SilverStone has come up with a winner of a chassis, that shows their continuation of thinking outside the box. Installation was a bit odd from I was used to, but what do you expect this chass...
We’d be lying to ourselves if we said there wasn’t a market for premium cases. And just because this one isn’t made of flimsy aluminum doesn’t make it any less of a case. Still, the SilverStone Raven RV02 isn’t a case for budget system builders, as th...
The original Raven RV01 was not the most well-received chassis on the market. The price was high and there were a lot of flaws in the design that were too hard to overlook. Cable management issues were rampant and caused many would-be purchasers to lo...
We would like to thank our friends at Silverstone for providing the Raven 2 case for our review today. It's exciting to review components that are unique and veer off the beaten path that so many vendors have taken, especially when it comes to PC cas...
We chose to run the hot(literally) 4870X2 and an i7 Extreme 975 overclocked to 4GHz in order to stress the Raven 2's cooling capablilities. The screenshot above is the results at idle. The GPU and CPU temps are excellent in this situati...
After three hours of assembly, wire management, and some final adjustments, the bulk of our Raven RV02 build came to meet even our most critical expectations. More or less, we were very pleased with the final outcome of the overall case aesthetics, fun...

SilverStone Raven RV02 is a full-tower case targeted to the enthusiast that wants a high-quality high-end full-tower case and liked the concept of the motherboard being 90º rotated but doesn’t want to pay more than USD 200 on a high-end case. H...
In our review the Raven 2 was absolutely convincing. Due to the rotated motherboard all components can be installed easily and cable management isnt difficult. Only the hard drives are a little tricky to set up. The quality of workmanship is good, bu...
Abstract: With the original Raven, Silverstone brought something new to an otherwise stagnant enclosure market. Their Stack Cooling layout was put to good effect and the case did quite well but many people wanted something with a bit less flamboyant design. En...
