Silverstone Tek Full Tower Reinforced Plastic Outer Case with Window Side Panel and 2X USB3.0 Front Ports Case, RV01B-W-USB3.0 (Black)

Amazon does a good job on these fascinating products which are already out of production. I've been looking for this case for quite a while though I know it is no longer in production. I found it was also on sale on BestBuy who says that they would have to call the product from some other merchant's stockroom. Same price, but it would usually be shipped within 3-5 days, and the shipping would be about 30 dollars. Then I was glad to find that Amazon is still selling this product while it is getting fewer and fewer. And the shipping is quite cheap.

Have 2 CPUs and 2 liquid cooling units. This thing only has 1 180mm fan slot! Had to cut holes in this to get a second one to fit. Cheap plastic case and it had scratches all over it like it was kicked around before being put in the box. Can provide pictures.

The case is attractive and has some nice features. However, the case was supposed to be USB 3.0 and it was "USB 3.0 Ready", meaning you get a cable that works with USB 2.0, and maybe at some point a USB 3.0 adapter will be available for purchase. The panels are not easily removed and replaced (you have to wrestle with it a bit). The side panel window was scratched and not of high quality acrylic. There is not much customization available to modders (drive bays are riveted, etc). Another complaint, only one 3.5" drive bay has the hardware for a hot swappable SATA drive. The 5 1/4 inch bays are supposed to be easily locked in, however you pretty much have to guess where the screw holes are in order to engage the lock. It was far more complicated than just putting a screw or two in (and you still have to open the case, as there are no connectors in the back of the bay). Almost all of the cool features are hype.The case itself has some odd limitations including a difficult to use back plane for wire management. There are only a couple of holes to push all of your wires through, and the ones on the left hand side are covered up by the motherboard (weird placement).The best and IMHO only redeeming feature is the overall agressive look of the case. I do also like being able to pop off the top and have access to the ports and connectors that would normally be on the back of the computer.Too bad as I really wanted to love it. I prefer my Cooler Master tower cases over this by a large margin.

This thing is heavy, bulky, and you would think it would have a ton of space inside but not so much. Cord management is rubbish, extra fans are needed or else you will fry your hardware (for me it was my graphics card.) Really there just isn't enough airflow, the intake areas are small and not reasonably placed to meet the needs of a set up made for gaming. I would have liked more removable filters because cleaning the angled silly small intake areas are a pain in the butt. If you are looking for a giant talking piece, this hits it's mark, people always comment on how big it is and how much space it takes up (again for airflow clearance). Upside, it's a tank, it's very sturdy and has convenient hand holds. It is also really easy to access because the side panels come off with quick release latches.

I've had this case for a few years now and figured I'd review the case. The thing that really caught my attention was the way it looks. I get compliments all the time about it by my friends. It really is just a great looking case. For me though, that's about all this case has to offer. The "revolutionary 90 degree" bit, I figured that it would be a great idea and maybe it is. However I don't see any benefit of it. Cable management was kind of a pain. I built a PC for my brother using a Corsair case and it was much easier and cleaner. Not saying that can't be done with this case, it will just take some time. The 180mm fans are ok I suppose. One of mine went out after about a year and when I had looked into them Silverstone was the only one who made them in that size so you couldn't really get an aftermarket performance fan for the case. That may have changed by now. The main thing with this case that irritates me is the front cover. Your disk drives are behind a sliding cover. You push down on it, clicks into place and it holds itself there. Now I read every review I could find at the time for this case and most of them mentioned how this would break and you would no longer be able to lock the cover down. I shrugged it off as people being careless. However, it broke for me as well after about a year and a half. So now if if i want to use my disk drive I have to hold it down while opening and closing it. Anyway all in all it isn't a bad case even though I haven't really said very many pros for it. It is a really great looking case and most of the annoying bits about it can be worked around. Just know that the little retaining clip that holds down the front door cover will almost certainly break at some point.

It is a shame the 90-degree rotation has never "caught on" seeing as it solves many problems!! I'm just glad they re-released it with USB3.0 even if they did keep IEEE1394Overall an amazing chassis; specifically it is the cheapest SSI EEB chassis with USB3.0 I could find (which made me happy seeing as I owned an original Raven w/ USB2.0)

Very cool looking i just wish the fans have more power I'm still trying to find replacement fans they are hard to find they are very big when you get into high-end gaming it gets a little hot in the case but still the very nice looking case

The case and everything looks great everything in great to perfect condition.Fast delivery and considering the weight of this mammoth I know that was difficult.
