Looks can be deceiving – this is why it is important for us to observe the installation process to identify any potential problems with RV03, especially as this chassis redefines the way we look at building a computer system. I’m happy to report there are no problems whatsoever.

Building a computer system inside RV03 is obviously different but it is surprisingly easy too. There is lots of space inside and maintaining good cable management standards is a doddle.

I really like the design and layout of RV03 and I personally love the fresh approach to how SilverStone has looked at case design. It’s unique, exciting and very interesting.





There are numerous ways in which HDD storage can be installed within RV03 and so rather than install the HDDs in the bays (which is typical to other computer cases) I decided to install the drives behind the motherboard tray.

To install a 3.5” drive various screws need to be removed from one of the trays. When this tray has been removed the drive can then be attached as pictured below – screws attach to the underside of the drive.



With the drive attached to a tray we then attach the tray back to the chassis. This keeps all HDD storage tucked away behind the motherboard tray.



2.5” drives can also be attached; in the example below I attached a drive to the middle position. Screws simply slot into the sides of the drive, fixing it in place.

You can also notice in the picture that cable management can be kept on top form thanks to the channels and cavities SilverStone have created with RV03. Overall, I am very pleased with all areas. Next we will be taking a closer look at the clearance inside our Raven case.
