RV04 anyone?

[KiiYzOo]

I've always been a fan of the raven cases up until the rv03, that think is hideous on the inside imo, and I was looking for some computex 2012 rumours, when I stumbled across this

I can't wait to see this, if it is as good as the first two cases, then I will wait until it comes out until I upgrade from my r3

Looks like a lot of plastic there!

Looks interesting

Interesting. Doubt it'll beat the RV02 though...

Don't know why they ever moved away from the RV02 tbh... 3 fans > 2...

I hope they go back like the rv02 and have it so that we can easily fit a rad on top of the 180mm fans

ravens have always been a bit plasticy on the outside, divine, but that's kinda why you'd go for something like the ft02 instead

When can we expect this to be launched?

 

[KiiYzOo]

I'm waiting to see it announced at computex, and hopefully there will be a release date announced too

hope its in my budget might be worth a look

Cool keep us posted I'm hoping it will be around the £160 mark or cheaper. How much was the rv03 when it was launched?

 

[KiiYzOo]

it was £115 IIRC, and the rv02 was around £140

You can still get the RV02. Just saying.

Agreed on the RV03, the coloured trim and change in layout was a step backward imo.

The RV03 is hideous

just realised that when the event starts each day (10am local time) it is 3am here

Better, but no cigar.

I really don't like the direction they're taking them. Why flip the motherboard 180? Apart from moving the weight in the case lower down I can't see any obvious massive benefit that makes it worth the trouble unlike the 90 turn that moved airflow in a more logical direction.

If I wanted another system I'd be snapping up an RV02 while they are still available at some suppliers. In fact I might do that anyway and start modding it for watercooling.

that huge front door is so ugly
the old ft02 had a little class to it

i rly hope they dont sell a lot of them

That looks like the love child of an alien mother ship and a combi boiler..

How will this impact mobos with heatpipes and the like?
