Silverstone Raven RVZ02
Silverstone is back with another compact gaming chassis: the RVZ02. This new model is 15% smaller than the original while still promising to support graphics cards up to 13" long. Silverstone believes that the RVZ02 is one of the easiest compact Mini-ITX cases to build a gaming system in and we'll be putting together multiple hardware configurations to test this claim.

By TechSpot onIn the second quarter of 2014 we happened upon one of the best small form factor gaming cases yet, the Silverstone Raven RV01. The RV01 quickly gained recognition for being the ultimate Steam Machine enclosure as it crams a fully-fledged enthusiast PC...
By TechSpot onSilverstone's RVZ02 is certainly a capable small volume case. While you're restricted to an SFX or SFX-L power supply, you have the option of a full sized GPU while not compromising on cooling. I think the windowed option on the case makes it appeal for...

By HardwareHeaven onIn shrinking the width (or height, depending on how you look at it) of the RVZ02 compared to the RVZ01, SilverStone has developed a chassis that's even more living room friendly – it's barely bigger than an Xbox One (which has an external power supply,...

By Tech Critter onThe Raven RVZ02 performs surprisingly well considering it is even smaller than its predecessor. The sleeker profile reduces the CPU heatsink height limit and takes case fans off the table altogether, but the end result is hardly disastrous. Compared to...
By SilentPC Review onOne of the biggest hurdles when building a small form factor machine is the case. For far too long many enthusiasts have avoided building Mini-ITX systems due to the lack luster case selection that either forced them to use toaster style cases or revert...
