New RV03

Silverstone have a page up for the RV03. Have to say I rather like the layout, you can see FT03 design cues in there.

and it faces the right way too

Yes you can as well as the original Raven doesnt look to bad at all although looks like a pain to fit psu

I don't get it?

EDIT: Oh I see, so the window is on the left, not the right.

Actually, having the PSU point all the cables towards the 'unseen' panel is a great idea, and shouldn't be difficult to manage. Only issue I can see is in PSU length.

Apparantly you can have 4 120mm fans at the front. Unless I've missed something, I don't see how that's possible...

cant see my hx1000 fitting in there

There is a video on youtube where they explain this. The video explains way better than I can

Nice case, but gold stripes? Really?!

I would have liked it a whole lot more without them.

It looks nice, but I can imagine it being very plasticy.

however, I do like silverstones effort in trying to be different with mounting the motherboard that way round, I really like it and hope they continue with it.

The gold stripes do look a little funny. If I were to get this, they would be repainted, probably gloss white.

I find it strange when companies do things like that.. if we wanted a case with gold stripes, we'd paint them on, so they've cut out a large proportion of there market to suit a minority.

My thoughts exactly. Looks very Antec 900ish from the side too.

It just looks... awful...

Have to agree.

As a lover and owner of the rv02 and now the rv02-e i think it's a step backwards.

Looks cheap and tacky in my opinion.

If you think it looks awful, you should remember how bad the prototype looked! Air-cooling should be immense, but it's still got nothing on the FT02 IMO, which is the classiest of the SS cases with the rotated mobo (which I think is a fantastic idea).

White RV02 is so much better... Really don't like the gold, just looks tacky...
