Got mine today, black windowed. Loving it so far but what the hell is with the case having barely any room for the cables to go behind the board? You'd think for a case that was designed for the cables to go behind the mb tray that there would be at least an inch or so of clearence.
Instead any connections ive had to tape down as flat as possible to avoid the side panel being bowed.
Its pretty hard to see exactly how silverstone "missed" this as its not exactly their first try at this kind of setup, the raven 1 and 2 are similar enough in terms of routing, were notes not taken and lessons learned? Even if the panel was bevelled out slightly it probably would have given enough clearence without having to tape things down. If this was their first try then fair enough but this is case number 3 utilising this kind of setup, and even then this kind of thing should get caught in the design stages ideally.
For slightly over £200 i expect an all singing all dancing case and not have to break out the parcel tape. For some reason i forsee a revision of this case coming within the next few months with a bit more width and possible abit taller to accomadate the 5970 properly.
