SilverStone Raven RV03 Case Review

The Power Supply Compartment

Another important difference between the RV03 and its precursors is the position of the power supply. While on the RV01, RV02, and FT02 the power supply is installed on the top panel of the case, in the RV03 the power supply is installed at the bottom, rotated 90°. This means that the power cord connector faces the case left panel and all the output wires face the case right panel. Because of this change, you can only install power supplies up to 7.1” (180 mm) deep.

The Raven RV03 has a power cord extension to be used by the power supply. You must install this extension to the power supply receptacle, and the original power cord must be installed in the receptacle available at the bottom panel.
