So, I'm on the lookout for a new case. I currently have an Antec P182 which I love, but it's starting to show its age and I could do with some more 3.5" bays. I really had my eye on the Fractal Design XL, but its crept up £30 in the last couple months and I'm not sure it's worth its new price.

I've recently noticed the Raven 3, I quite like the layout and design but I'm concerned about the 3.5" bays. It seems they've squeezed a load of them in round the back, it just looks like it will be an absolute pain to route cables to them. Most PSU's nowadays will space out the power connectors a few inches along the same run to work with case design, but the Raven looks like you will need lots of individual runs?

Any owners on here with more than 3 or 4 hdd's installed in one? How was it, any pics of your rear side cable jungle?
 
I really like the look of that case worth the upgrade from 800d? so far im not amused with its cooling abilities for my sli gcards. The only thing is the RV02B has window on the side that would be best for me so is there much of a difference between the two as would rather go for the RV02B

The RV02B has an extra 180mm fan which seems to be your best bet as you want real good cooling though the RV03 cools good still.The psu is mounted different in the RV03 aswell and i prefer the mounting in RV02B.

However the RV03 has more room for cable management but it's still enough on the RV02 anyway.
