Available from Februrary 12th at an MRSP of $68.00 (ex. VAT) we have the RVZ01 Mini-ITX case.
Since the original RAVEN RV01 debuted in 2008, the RAVEN team at SilverStone has demonstrated many times how it can truly define or defy computer enthusiasts’ expectations of what a performance PC is capable of in both form and function. For 2014, the team had a new target, which is to exceed and reshape the small form factor landscape with another breakthrough case design. The result of this effort is a new line of case products called RAVEN Z. As the first model, RVZ01 is unlike any SilverStone small form factor cases before it. Utilizing a PCI-E riser and custom designed fans, this slim, 14 liter case is capable of housing the biggest consumer graphics card on the market with superb air cooling performance and the ability to support liquid cooling*. Designed for use in either vertical or horizontal orientation, it can be placed comfortably in any space-constrained environment that requires a powerful PC. For those that have been waiting to make the move to small form factor computing with a truly standout case to build with, the RVZ01 is it.

Our Thoughts:
We have never been much fans of the Raven series and I personally have put its sales down to its interior layout as opposed to its exterior design. Unfortunately while I do think the RVZ01 looks somewhat good, the design is too familiar to that of Dells older SFF Optiplex systems; a staple in 90% of businesses and schools in the UK. Because of this I cant see people in the UK wanting to come home to a PC that looks like the heap of junk they have to deal with 40 hours of the week.
