Found by accident that the Raven 2 site is up with more info: http://www.silverstonetek.com/raven/products/index.php?model=RV02&area=usa I'd have a look at this linked preview while you are at it. It's asian but easy enough to navigate and quite good. They also display some ingenious cable management. Cant make out any temp or noise readings though: http://www.chiphell.com/2009/0722/88.html Over all I'm thoroughly impressed. Much better then the RV01. But it does seem that you cant install HDD's without first removing the motherboard. From reading the instructions it also seems that it ships with a pair of brackets to attach a 120.3 rad directly on top of the 180mm fans. Be very interesting to see how that performs or is at all practical. The new Fortress FT02 is also based on the same platform but with a better HDD cage, alu exterior, foam padding, one less PCI slot and fixed speed fans. Cant wait to see how these fare compaired to the Obsidian and new Lian-Li's.
now what i need is something like that, but i want the DVD drives to be pointing out the same way as the window.
That looks like a pretty good case tbh. The way the HDD's are laid out you won't need to take out the mobo to remove them. Clever use of space for the SSD too. Not sure on the silver, but in black that could be a nice case indeed.
The original Raven looked way too plasticky (for a Silverstone case anyway), this one looks a lot more workable. It'll be very expensive though, I'm guessing ~$300?
a guy form our country managed to get one raven 02 form silverstone for display purpose fomer bit tech forumer also ianho http://ianho.blogspot.com/2009/07/silverstone-rv02-review.html
Don't know if I can mention this but another website similar to this said that Silverstone Raven 2 will retail for between £100-£120.. This will definatly interest me in my upcoming build It also goes on to say that it will be released mid-August so not long to go http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=19419
