Tiny case with great portability, Full sized GPU support, Horizontal or vertical orientation, Great ventilation for a SFF case, Hard PCIe GPU riser card,
Vertical case feet aren't permanently held in place, Limited to SFX power supply, Windows vents inhibit vision of internal components
Silverstone'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 a...
Abstract: If you're looking for slim mini-ITX case that fits ample hardware and looks great, the SilverStone Raven RVZ02 Case might just be it. It comes in 2 different models, one with windows and one without. It fits up to two 2.5" drives, a 13" long video card ca...
The 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 th...
Small Form Factor (12 Liters), SFX-L Power Supply Support, Video Card Support up to 13 inches, Only 3.5 Inches Thick, Elegant Layout, Passive Cooling
Passive cooling, 2.5 inch drive requirement (optional 3.5)
One 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 t...
Attractive design, USB 3.0 front panel, Comes with PCIE riser and extender, Toolless drive cages, Full size graphics card capable, Positive pressure design, Slim ODD option, Multiple orientation options
SFX/SFXL PSU required, Slim ODD (They can be pricey), Limited cooling capacity, Limited cable management options
Personally, I like the RAVEN RVZ02B-W. I dig the slimness of the case, as well the ability to put a full sized graphics card in it. The only thing that doesn't move the needle for me is the PSU limitation. A few more millimeters of width and we could use...

It's as easy on the eyes as it is to work with. Surprisingly affordable. Smaller than its predecessor but can still handle GPUs up to 13" long. No case cooling? No problem! Smart design that uses component fans for airflow.
Dust could be a concern on the filterless windowed model (a solid panel version with filters is $10 cheaper). Not really a con, but we wouldn't mind seeing another variant that eliminates the optical drive bay, if only for aesthetics.
Starting with the build quality of the RVZ02-W we have a case which feels nice and solid. The steel body has been assembled well and is a decent thickness, offering plenty of stability for our...
In 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, we...
