What are the odds of finding another Silverstone Raven in these many days?
View attachment 117023
This is the original Raven RV01. The livery on the front reveals it to be one of PrimeABGB's display models back when they were passionate about building computers. It's not new-old-stock like the RV02 I found a few pages back, but it's been well taken care off with the only visible scratches around the PSU mounting holes. I don't have that much of an emotional attachment to the RV01 as I did with the RV02, so I took just one photo for now. It is a very striking design and it's growing on me the more I look at it. When I first received it a few days ago, I spent nearly an hour just looking at it before I was asked to clear the dining table for lunch.
A few members were curious about how much these costed. The RV02 was 1500, this RV01 was 2000. For both, I paid Rs 500 extra for them to be packaged in a lifetime supply of bubble wrap. Shipping was around 900 for each. As usual with OLX purchases, the plastics did not survive shipping and there is notable damage.
I'm planning out two long term builds for these cases, one as a workstation and the other as a storage server. Both will have all of the plastic panels replaced with smoked acrylic or tempered glass.
