It's not that it's not popular.... It's just that ianho's PC has attracted a lot of mysteries.... laugh.gif laugh.gif

Went there and c and was amazed on how the RV01 doesn't need much modding to look attractive..... Thumbs to ianho.... thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

You make jealous persons all around the world (I'm french) .

It's a good review but nothing about the capacity of cooling. (for the RV01 it's a problem with the GPU...).

You can say to us  a little more about it?

thx

I haven't installed my hardware into the RV02 yet. Just came back from the Kuala Lumpur PC Fair and I'm really really tired. It was a really hectic weekend. Need some rest b4 I start on the RV02.

thanks for the unboxing review. arhhh you made me want to buy this case. Anyway is this case got room for W/C and crossfire or sli ?

Sure can WC, xfire n SLI. It takes a 3x120 rad at the bottom n can take up to 4 dual slot gfx cards.

should i wait for rv02 or go straight and buy rv01? after seeing ianho's raven at pc fair i instantly fall in love with the casing ... but i dont seem to like the rv02 that much ... ianho hows the performance in rv01 and rv02?

brada ian. how much would it be selling here? i like the concept of hanging GCs. LOL...

1. hot air travels up.
2. heavy GCs won't bent in this way. laugh.gif

the con is this type of casing needs looooong base area. might need to put on floor for some.

Silverstone tells me it's gonna be slightly cheaper than Raven 1. I guess it'll b about rm600+. Ya I especially love the vertical gfx cards coz I've always used hi end cards which are big, long n heavy. No more PCB bending problems with this design. Also good for those who use water cooling coz no more danger of water dripping onto the cards in case of a leak.

rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif I finally got the new cooling system for my Raven 2 build. Will start on the hardware install this weekend. I will be testing the temp difference between RV01 n RV02 with TR IFX14. Then I will compare temps between IFX14, AC Freezer 7 Pro and the Corsair H50 in the RV02.

Hang on ya. I had planned to torture the IFX14 in Raven 1 today. BUT............... the 120x38mm fan on the IFX14 died and my house autogate oso died on me pulak. Then I got stuck in house coz car cannot go out. Had to wait for the auto gate mech to fix it n it took him all day long b4 I cud go out again. Just brought home a brand new 120x38mm fan n installed in the Raven 1. Will torture it 2nite n then strip everything out n put into the Raven 2. Should be able to torture the IFX14 in Raven 2 by 2moro nite.

I like the massive window on Raven 2. Can see my 3 way SLI nicely. The Raven 1 hides my 3rd n last gfx card coz window too small. I'm gonna go down to Singapore next month to try n locate some water blocks for my 3 gfx cards. Then that big huge window in the Raven 2 will be really nice to show off my dual loop water cooling set up. thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

The blog posting is for Raven 1 mod. I haven't had time to sort out the pics yet. Raven 2 thermal comparison should be up in a few days. Will install the hardware n compare temps with Raven 1 2moro.

I dont understand y every1 is complaining about RV1 wire management. U look at my RV1, u can hardly see any wires. The case is a wire management dream come true actually.
