SST-RVZ03B - Raven Mini-ITX Gaming Computer Case, RGB, black

Amazing slim case to build in, and it seems to have the best temperature characteristics of any other mini-ITX case. Just for the love of god, do not use an ATX power supply especially one with non-modular fat cables or building anything high-end will become an exercise in frustration. It fits an ATX PSU, but you'll have barely enough space to tuck cables away.Do yourself a favor and use an SFX PSU. This is less of a problem with smaller components that take up valuable space, because everything will be fighting for it. Everything will depend on what size the PSU and graphics card are. I recommend sticking with APU's or small to medium graphics cards.There aren't that many ways to configure this but there is a possibility of mounting an AIO up to 240mm (if the GPU isn't used) and as low as 120mm with tiny GPUs.I really liked that this case includes decent 2x120mm slim fans, I don't like the fact that they aren't PWM, so you can only control them with a separate box or your motherboard has to support manual DC voltage control for the fans.And speaking of cooling, the CPU is going to have the worst time, I got up to 50c idle on a Ryzen 2600, but during load it can be anywhere from 60-70, and I'm not even talking about the RAM, VRM and everything else in between that will be absorbing all of that heat, I recommend getting another 120mm slim fan to fill out the last mounting spot, as this case will be starving for airflow.Minor nitpick but, I wish the front had addressable (Digital) RGB light as opposed to just Analog with a single color for the whole strip to sync with. At least an option would have been nice to be able to replace the strip yourself, but I don't think the parts covered by plastic are accessible and I am afraid to break them when trying to pry them away.Anyway, enough rambling.It's the best Raven iteration by Silverstone so far, there's still room for improvement in the CPU side of cooling efficiently. It's easy to build in if you have a good grasp of cable management, practice patience and the order of installing everything. The end result is almost art.Oh and PS: Once you re-build everything and readjust a few times or just add that extra fan, placing everything back becomes really easy.

Wanted a nice SFF ITX case and was a toss up between this and the Node 202 for SFF cases that don't look like they were designed by a hormonal angtsy teenager. Unlike the Node 202, the FTZ01 supports slimline 120mm case fans in both the GPU -and- the CPU/MB section. Also comes with 2x slimline (older 3-pin, non-PWM) fans, though they're a little bit noisy and 3x magnetic dust filters which is ace.Building this thing was an incredible pain; online reviews don't do it justice. I can build a regular ATX case in under an hour, but this took over 3, along language that would make a sailor blush. The inside isn't as high quality as the outside either, a few stipped thread holes, some chintzy plastic and a cracked PCIe riser for the GPU. Not great. I also had cut/crimp to of the cable outs from my non-modular PSU. Cable management is a case of 'that'll do' and not much more. There's 3 2.5" drive bays, but one of them (next to the PSU) will be nigh-on impossible to use due to cable management.If you're after something similar, and don't need the CPU/MB, fan I'd recommend the Fractal Design Node 202 case with a modular SFX PSU. It's cheaper, easier to build in and a bit nicer looking (though looks are subjective of course).If you're looking at this case, be aware that this (E-suffix) version uses a standard ATX PSU, and lacks an optical drive bay like the regular SFX version.

Easy build overall.Double check that the fans are the right way round, I think all fans should suck air in, and then hot air is vented top and bottom.The case comes with two fans, I added an extra fan above the GPU for a total of 3 fans.The manual recommends two fans above a graphics card.The PSU bracket is sized for an ATX. I would recommend an SFX-L power supply, it won't be a tight fit in the chassis however the extra space is used for cable management.I used a noctua NH-L9x65 65 mm fan which is the bigger version for extra cooling.Half of the case is dedicated to the graphics card, allowing for full sized 33cm graphics cards.There are four 2.5" bays meaning loads of storage for multiple SSD.The LED lights on the exterior of the case are nick and, not tacky.I installed an AMD Ryzen 7 3700 X.I installed an Asus ROG Strix b450-i gaming ITX motherboard.

This case is great! It was a struggle to build in at first and it takes longer than it usually would in a tower case, especially since i used an atx psu, but it was worth it. I really like how quiet this case is, the fans included are dc controled however, but as long as your motherboard can control both pwm and dc, make sure you switch it to dc controled to make it quiet.At 14 litres you cant get much smaller while using an atx psu, and tier 1 psu's are much cheaper than sfx. Mine is a seasonic focas gold 750w and its super quiet.The cooling is pretty good for a case so slim, i have a small overclock on an i5 10600k, and those cpu's tend to run hot.The gpu area has good ventilation, and there aren't many gpu's that wont fit in this case.All in all im happy with my purchase

Pros- Great case even for normal sized GPUs- Very small, great for a discreet desktop in the living roomCons- Difficult to build in- ATX PSUs should be avoided, the extra space is better used for cable management.- SFX PSUs require a bracket- Didn't come with a manual or any documentation
