SilverStone Raven RV01 Case Review

Inside Raven RV01 (Cont’d)

The reviewed case also features supports for daughterboards, in order to prevent them from getting out of the motherboard slots.

Figure 18: Supports for the daughterboards.

In Figure 19, you can see the case with a full-length ATX motherboard installed (EVGA nForce 790i with a Thermaltake TMG i1 CPU cooler). See how there is still space available behind the motherboard, meaning that it supports bigger Extended ATX model. There is plenty of room between the motherboard and the wall from the power supply compartment, allowing you to install very long (12” or 30 cm) video cards. In Figure 20, you can see Raven RV01 after we built a PC with it (the video card used was a GeForce GTX 285, see how there is still a lot of room between the video card and the power supply compartment wall).

The other side of the case is also interesting and you can see it on Figures 21 and 22. See how Raven comes with several holes and cable holders so you can route cables behind the motherboard, leaving the motherboard compartment with less cables and thus improving the PC internal ventilation.
