The Silverstone RVZ01 or RV05

[Marinooben]

That case should i get? The Silverstone Raven 05 or The Raven z01 /RV05-RVZ01
The RV05 is 80$ more and in a ATX case. The RVZ01 is a Mini-ITX case/HTPC case

You might want to wait and hold off for the RVZ02 which should be out any day now: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/silverstone-raven-rvz02,28312.html

I would love to build a rig in a case like that and show it off to my console loving friends. :lol:

I am considering the RVZ02, now, since it is so slim. Would save a lot of space with that thing.

Thx guys do you know how much it will cost? i saw that case at CES 2015 and it looked A-may-Zane

Based on the current model I am guessing most likely around the $100 mark. I do agree that it looks awesome. I very badly want to do an SFF build.

You mean like a large GPU or a small form factor GPU? Gigabyte makes a model of the GTX 970 just for these types of cases: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125706&cm_re=gigabyte_gtx_970-_-14-125-706-_-Product

You got to make sure your card fits in your case first, then worry about the cooler second. The bad thing about going with such a small form factor is that it limits what you can buy. A three-fan Windforce won't fit in an mITX case.

The RVZ01 supports cards up to 12.99" long. The Gigabyte windforce 3x, 970, is 12.20" long. Personally, I am interested in seeing if one could fit a 120mm AIO cooler if using Gigabyte's ITX version of the 970. :lol:

I would think you'd need Ant-Man to shrink down a system like that, right? :lol:

That is what has me so intrigued by this particular case. I really want to build with it, just to see if I can build one that way. :lol:

How log GPUS does the RVZ02 support? i'm planig to go with a msi gtx 970 if its fits, i saw that they have a x3 fan zotac card on CES

 

[logainofhades]

No word yet, as it isn't a released product. Looking more into it, I would have to go with the older RVZ01, to even attempt to do, what I want to do.

 

[Marinooben]

I looked at some CES vids and thers place for a 11.5" GPU and the MSI that i probably will get is 11"

Yeah me too. I have my spare 3570K and 8GB of RAM that I can use toward this build, but finding a Z77 mITX motherboard is going to be difficult. :lol:

I haven't had much luck in that area either. I will have to wait till summer, at the earliest, to do a rebuild. I am thinking Xeon 1231v3 with an H97 ITX board, or a 4790k bundle deal from Microcenter. My next build is going to have to last me awhile. I have '79 Bronco project to work on, and need to focus my funds on finishing it.
