raven is low on cooling in my opinion

better buy Silverstone TJ10

where are you getting silverstone?
 
OMG. I'm in US right now and i was thinking of lugging this case back home.

where can i buy this in India for 12K?
 
i can get it for u .. anytime.. how many pieces u want :D

guru.. ts worth buying right ?? plannign to sell my HAF 932 and get this ...
 
its unconventional in design too- bottom fans, connections on top, neat back etc...its based on basic thermodynamic principle that hot air rises up

major gripes are unable to fit in dvi-vga adapters and lots of plastic.cooling tests were found satisfactory when compared to CM ATCS 840

Lol build up some guts and get a Lian Li full tower! This unconventional case wont turn much heads and this'd eventually be put up for sale after 2 months. Fizzmall quoted me 22k + local shipping for a 220USD case from Google Checkout. For once, I wouldn't mind spending so much.

@gurur: Lian Li all the way!
 
i found the case to be a sad downgrade after the HAF932:

+Front n top Looks

-Saddest cable mgmt ever! (Even CM Elite would pawn it here)

-Wont support any DVI-HDMI or DV-VGA adapter stuff at back of mobo

-Very plastic

-Side window is small and showing a messy area of the PC

-no support for 230mm fans, Just small 180mm and that too only 5!(CM690's figure)

-a whopping 3k over the HAF932

i'd buy it in a heart beat. for 3 reasons

1. stealth fighter looks

2, Unconventional Airflow which actually works to lwer temps than regular cases accordring almost every review i've read

3. stealth fighter looks

installation wont be easy/straightforward as in HAF, but nothing a techie cant handle :hap2:

- cable management is slightly tricky. i'd nowhere call it sad. sad is for Antec 900 original version :P

- adapter issues are real tho. but meh, who'd want to use this case as as HTPC to connect to tv..even if you want to connect there are cards with native HDMI support.

Plastic/side window are subjective - there's a version without side window.. which imo would complete the stealth look

- > 120/140 mm fan is moot this already has better cooling than almost every other case out there.

note that i'm not saying points you raised aren't real, affect people. i'm just not that picky.
 
yeha true.. HAF 230 mm are way too slow runs at 700 RPM and adapter issue is not a concern as there wont be a day i will use it it .cable managment i guess we can take of that .. loooks prmising..
 
this should answre questions abt cooling. this is almost as good as Antec 1200 for air cooling, the current best case for air cooling. Antec 1200 comes with 5/6 120mm fans btw
