A Closer Look At Silverstone's Teeny Tiny Raven RVZ02, And Why We Like It

Flipping the GPU so all the fans are on the same side of the case. As it currently sits when horizontal, the CPU fan points to the top of the case and the video card points to the bottom of the case, potentially impeding airflow.

Thats the point i made earlier, but people with the RVZ01 have stated it doesn't affect airflow. Would be nice to see some benchmarks of horizontal temps vs vertical temps, to see if there is an impact. My concern is that the RVZ02 is supposed to be fanless, relying on CPU and GPU fans only.

It doesn't seem to affect airflow on my RVZ01, but I would probably be a little concerned if I had a really high end video card in it.

This is what i use at the moment. But i would love to switch to something more, dare i say it, console sized.

Very nice.

This is my machine atm. The video card isn't the most powerful, but I'm not that heavy of a gamer:
