SilverStone Raven RVZ01 Mini-ITX

Overview

Despite weighing just 8 pounds with a tiny 14L capacity, the Raven RVZ01 is destined for big things with support for enthusiast gear including dual-slot graphics cards up to 13" (330mm) long -- technically leaving enough room for the GeForce GTX Titan. Perhaps equally attractive is the RVZ01's asking price below $100.

We honestly weren't sure what to expect with the Raven RVZ01. It's very different from pretty much any other mini-ITX case we've tested but somehow, amazingly, it all comes together cooling-wise and beats the Fractal Design Node 304 at GPU cooling and...
