This review is from: SilverStone RAVEN Series RVZ01B Black Reinforced plastic outer shell, steel body Mini-ITX Desktop Computer Case SFX Power Supply
Pros:
Layout makes excellent use of limited airflow. High quality and quiet case fans that move plenty of air even with the dust filters installed. Everything is safely secured, and there's even a little bracket with some rubber to hold the graphics card in place. All the materials from the metal chassis to the plastic shroud and aesthetic bits are very high quality and very sturdy.
Cons:
As should be expected with SFF builds, actually building inside this case is quite a process especially since everything is isolated. DO NOT forget to plug anything in before final assembly, or you will bash your head against the wall. Even the power switch for the PSU is impossible to get to after full assembly.
It also takes quite a bit of planning to route cables. There's very limited room to stuff the excess, and you must be very careful not to leave anything in the path of any fan blades.
