There’s a new version of the Raven mid-tower enclosure on the way, and while it still offers a premium look this new model will be priced to move with a projected price of just $80.

The SilverStone Raven RVX01 still features a 90-degree inverted motherboard design, with the I/O facing the top of the enclosure as with the current RV05, a layout that provides excellent cooling power from fans that blow hot air upwards from the floor of the case. No less than 3 of SilverStone’s 120 mm “Air Penetrator” fans are pre-mounted at the bottom of the RVX01 (up from two 180 mm fans in the RV05), so there should be no shortage of cooling power. It will be interesting to see how noise might be affected by the smaller fan size, thought on their high setting the RV05’s 180 mm fans were among the loudest I’ve tested.

The new Raven case features the same aggressive, angular styling as before, again with a 5.25″-free design that offers only internal drive mounts. But where the current Raven only offered a single dual-3.5″ bay along with a pair of 2.5″ SSD mounts behind the motherboard, this new version has 4 bays that can be used for 3.5″ or 2.5″ drives. While the drive total will be the same the option of up to 4 3.5″ drives will definitely appeal to some, as the previous design was rather restrictive when it came to storage.
