Great case to work in - even with an ATX PSU.

I didn't read the manual particularly well and almost missed things like the GPU support. Cable management details leave a lot to be desired, even when using minimal PSU cables - I don't recall seeing any tie down points anywhere. I guess they presume you are using SFX and stuffing the excess length in the PSU housing area.

Also, I strongly endorse benching the entire setup BEFORE you install in this chassis just to confirm everything works because it really is a tight fit and if you have big hands, good luck working in there after the fact.

I messed up the size of my PSU, thought it was 150mm long but is actually 160mm long and while I don't recommend it for long term use you can remove the ssd mount right in front of the psu area to give some extra room, but be careful, as you are also removing multiple points to secure the GPU frame, and if you are lazy with cable management, you'll have a rats nest down in with the case fans and GPU fans.

I used silverstone's NT06-Pro v2 cooler in this but after having worked with that cooler in this case, I'd strongly recommend something like the Cryorig C7 Cu just for the sake of being able to install it on the motherboard before the motherboard goes in the chassis and the TDP is about the same.

If you do use the RGB control box you'll have a bit of a challenge finding a place to put it in the case, especially if you aren't using a SFX PSU. I had a look at placing it even though I wasn't using it and the only other place I could find was in the GPU chamber, if you're using SFX there should be plenty of room in front of the PSU to keep it secure.

This review is long. Feel free to skip to the Pros and Cons for the important bits.

This case. It's compact, it's well built and it's truly beautiful. There's a lot to love about this little metal box, and its RGB panel.

I spent a long time looking for a case like this. It's a mini-itx that can take a full size graphics card (I currently have a GTX 970). Its light enough, even when fully decked out to slip it under your arm and carry it with you through the house.

Comes with 3 magnetic filters for the intakes (definitely needed). But only 2 fans. Can hold an excellent mid to upper gaming PC or a truly epic and beautiful HTPC.

Things to be aware of, if you put a full size PSU in this, (which does fit as long as its within the size limits listed) you won't be able to use one of the SSD mounts, theres just not enough clearance for cables. The HDD mount is only accessible if you use a mini-itx graphics card, and it is also the only spot where an AIO cpu cooler can be mounted as well (not that one is needed).

The included RGB control box is a nice touch for those who are running a non-LED MB, it can be a little ungainly to add yet another box inside the case though.

Finding a cpu cooler might be the biggest hassle with this one, the case clearance is slightly less than many coolers (by 1-2mm). It might be possible to squeeze one of those in or just go low profile.

If you like fiddling with cable management (theres no real help in the manual), want a small PC that's amazing to look at and manages to keep temps manageable, this might just fit the bill.

If portability is more important than looks, I'd recommend the ML08-H instead, it's the case that the Raven was designed from, but it has a handle making it far more portable.

If you still need a ODD (which this case cannot support), the older model RVZ02 has space for one.
