Silverstone Raven RVZ01 Mini-ITX Chassis Review

Exterior

Front the front we can see that the chassis blends aggressive looks with sleek styling, giving a somewhat futuristic style that wouldn’t look out of place in any home theatre setup.

In the top left we have a slot loading ODD cut-out and below that you’ll see the removable Raven logo which can be swapped for the curved one we mentioned on the first page of the review.

The right side packs a pair of USB 3.0 ports as well as HD audio connections, while at the bottom you’ll find the master power and reset buttons, as well as the power and HDD LED’s.

The left side features a ventilated plastic panel that can be removed from the metal chassis, most likely to help with cleaning any ventilation.

The right side is much the same, with another ventilated removable plastic panel.

Around the back we have some extra ventilation, the motherboard I/O, a pair of expansion bays with reusable ventilated covers.

On the right you’ll notice a power cable hook up, which connects to an extension cable inside the chassis are the PSU is mounted near the front of the case.

The top comes fitted with a slim 120mm fan, and has a special grill that is designed to both better direct the airflow and help reduce noise from the fans.

On the underside you’ll find two 120mm fan mounts with a single slim 120mm fan installed in the one nearest the front of the chassis. On the right you’ll also see some ventilation, this is to provide your SFX PSU with airflow.
