Hi Guys

Arriving next week we have the excellent new case from Silverstone.

The Raven 5 has some pretty cool features that you wont find coming from any other chassis manufacturer.

Innovative stuff!

The RAVEN RV05, the fifth edition in the exciting RAVEN enthusiasts chassis series continues the tradition of breaking and evolving the standards of desktop PC design.

With a bold move that sees the removal of all 5.25” drive bays, the RAVEN team engineers again saw the opportunity to re-utilize the 90 degree rotated design. Previous RAVEN models with 90 degree layout often had to compromise on space efficiency due to fixed length of the motherboard in rotated orientation. The elimination of 5.25” bays solves this issue naturally and enables RV05 to be even more balanced in terms of design than if the same were done to a traditionally-layout case.

With most of the wasted space eliminated from RV05, engineers were thus able to better optimize the case for the most important performance-affecting components such as
CPU and GPUs. The result is an expertly-engineered ATX chassis that is just as capable in terms of compute power and heat dissipation as the first RAVEN chassis, the RV01,
but in half the size. Equipped with latest revision Air Penetrator fans that include three speed switches and modern touches such as externally removable filters and tool-less
panels, the RV05 has everything that PC enthusiasts could wish for in a compact, high performance computer case that is not only cool and quiet, but also easy to build and maintain.
For those not wanting to constantly step up in case size to obtain top-level performance, the RAVEN RV05 is the perfect solution and it may also represent a glimpse into the future of
mainstream enthusiasts PC design.

Is there any news on the FT05? This layout is ideal for my current setup (although I'll have to mod a fan controller into it somehow)
 
I've been wanting to switch out my original Phantom for a while, but that will involve a full loop rebuild and what not...

But for 83 quid? It's mighty tempting!
 
Brilliant price and I still love the 90 degree motherboard setup. Not sure I could live with only 2 x 2.5" drives but for builds with a small footprint but big components this would be wonderful.

Keep it up Silverstone! :D
 
Agreed.

But I'm still a bit concern with their single 120mm exhaust approach...

I've just bought another FT02 (its that good) which also has just a single 120mm exhaust and I can hand on heart state that it's the best air cooled case for temps I've seen or used, the bottom 180mm fans draw in nice cold air, and pushes it out the top (hot air rises, who knew? :p) it also creates positive pressure so all the air gets either sucked out by the 120mm fan or through the vents and holes etc.. :)
