I'll admit that I spend way too much time on OLX but every now and then it pays off with unique finds. Attached are photos that I took today of a new-old-stock Silverstone Raven RV02! I remember over a decade ago, trying to make the numbers work, to get this case imported in India, but I couldn't overcome the sheer weight of the case and the cost of it all.

The case is/was in pristine condition, but there was no box or accessories. I'm guessing it was either a display model or a unit reserved for RMA. And in true OLX fashion it arrived with shipping damage on all of the plastic parts, but I did my best to tape it up for these photos. Eventually, I'll either replace the plastic parts with 3D prints or make something for it.

I haven't yet decided what to do with it, I'm just happy to finally have it – after 12 years!

I think even if I made a case of cardboard and gave it to you to photograph, it would look great :p
 
Never thought RV02 will be found on OLX! If you ever plan to sell it, hit me up [emoji14]
But yeah, it has found the right home now and we know it'll be pampered.

Hi. I have a Chiptronex HX1000 with 3 RGB Fans at front and a simple fan at rear. I am happy with front but I find my cabinet too dark from side.


There is some lighting by Asus logo on Motherboard. Almost nothing is visible from side with tinted tempered glass side panel.

Fortunately (by currents graphics card pricing), I am not into gaming so no graphics card is installed.

How can I make inside of my PC a bit brighter from inside? I tried RGB fan at rear but that was too bright for my eyes and I didn't like it.

I don't like LED strip much (if it is visible) either.

White or RGB light is what I want.
Will any of these be useful to my cabinet a bit brighter? My processor is i5-8400.


 
Many years ago, I bought a couple of these multi-port 30W USB chargers by Aukey. They're no longer available but they've proven themselves to have a surprisingly long life, with a weakpoint at the fold-out power plug.

Since they still work, a simple repair helps add a few more years to their lifespan.

Nicely done

I’m also using it.
